woot... finally got FedEx to redirect my 975 to the office so I could actually get it... I feel the flu coming on for tomorrow  Will get it setup as soon as I can and first thing I want to test is the pass-thru while shut off. I had to redirect my 975 for pickup at FedEx - it was scheduled for delivery tomorrow but no one will be home. I'm hoping the redirect (submitted yesterday) will still allow me to pick it up tomorrow. This weekend is open but next weekend I won't be able to work on it...so fingers crossed. I am surprised by the dearth of reports here given that it has been shipping for over a week. I ordered on 11/30 so there were two weeks for orders ahead of me. Anyway, with any luck, I'll have some hands-on knowledge by Sunday.

However, I do believe that Peter said publicly in the forums that the chipset is from Cirrus. I'm not sure which one is used by the SR5005. Best,

Why is that, were you a beta tester? -Bob

Hank, no sir, I don't know what DAC's the SR5005 uses. I'll just wait on some more reviews and do some research. Do you know what DAC's the 975 uses? Just curious, but has anyone been able to correlate the DAC chip used to the overall sound quality of the product? Seems to me there's so much more involved, from all the analog stages following the DAC, to the volume control, to the upsampling (if any), to the clocking...

I'm sure they're correlated. A good DAC is a neccessary part of the system but not, by itself, sufficient to determine sound quality because, as you noted, there are many other variables that impact sound quality.

Picked up my 975 after work. Weekend is predicted to be rain/sleet/snow and my shopping is done. Testing and setup of the 975 will be the order of the weekend!
