    Yeah it’s good ��
    Nice thing on these dacs is no solid state gains, purely done via the vacuum tubes so has no ‘digital’ tone to it - more analogue and musical in presentation.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    So an update as I can’t amend the first post.

    Loaned the dac to a more savvy mate and the WiFi works! He’s comparing it to a hardwired streamer and I’ll get the results soon.

    So if the WiFi is an option for you, or put you off initially - it works fine. Basically one had to hold the reset button for 10 secs to reboot, then wait 30 secs for the module to find the new network. Then work through the instructions to point your device (like an Apple) to it and done.

    Sorry for the confusion but the dac is fully operational.

    Hi Robert

    I carried them out. I’m the ex-owner of Aired Audio and the ex-importer of Jolida. I’ve carried out many mods on these dacs (and others) for many customers of whom a lot are on this forum who can testify to the work.
