    On second AMP tested (AB class) Katana and Boss placed in the first 3.

    It looks like the PecanPi was not a part of all tests because they ran out of time:

    "We did second round on analog amp only with the 5 boards, because short of time (after 10pm), as i wrote before. PecanPi could have won round two, but we don't know now."

    The actual unedited post from Judy :

    "I think it's clear. We liked Pecan Pi, but we liked 5 boards better than PecanPi. we did second round on analog amp only with the 5 boards, because short of time (after 10pm), as i wrote before. PecanPi could have won round two, but we don't know now."

    Oli can confirm:
    In his latest round of testing using the production PecanPi all noise that he previously experienced is completely gone.

    Absolutely. Unfortunately I need to get a mod to edit my initial review for me.

    I'll drop them a PM Leo and see if we can sort it out.

    No digital noise, no channel imbalance and it seems to me there is a bit more body to the sound which has now got me saving up to buy the Pecan Pi DAC board.

    I would still like to see the power inlet moved away from the RCA socket and Leo tells me he will address this too.

    It's not often a manufacturer listens to the input of the beta testers but I am really pleased Leo has.

    I definitely recommend a listen.
    Thanks for the update.

    Do Orchard plan on having a UK distributor for these products?
