You have to admit Stan, we have all been very good not pestering you.
Are you now in a position to reveal final details and when we can order/price etc?

just got my mac connected to the itube 182 sounds good! but a bit sibilant!? after talking to stan on the phone a few days ago (a very approachable guy!) i was convinced to get the DAC. should i wait for the new one? or get the old guy?? BTW the sibilance is dissapearing with time.... forgot about valve warm up!!

What I can say is that if you got an outstanding preamp or intend to drive a power amp directly from the DAC, then the new one would be the ideal candidate. If you need USB performance, or a headphone amp that can match an equivalent £200 headphone amp in its own right, then again the new unit would be up your street. But if none of the above applies to you, then the TC-7510 is more than adequate.
The biggest problem I found was that many preamps are inferior sounding as a preamp when compared to the new DAC. So running the DAC through a half decent preamp is not going to offer you much improvements. It is hard to explain properly, without physically trying out what I just described. It's one of those things that makes people say it is impossible, until you hear it for yourself.
