Just got mine in the mail! Very quality packaging, I am very impressed by the build of the USB cable, and Brent listened when I asked for a 3.5 mm jack. How could I be any more satisifed?
No static, easy to setup. No compatability issues with my x-fi elite pro although I might have to restart every time I want to switch, which isn't really a problem.
There is noticable transparency differences from my x-fi elite pro even on my HD485 headphones...can't wait to see this baby on my HD580 when they come in a few days.
Props to Brent.

They were originally shipped out by australian post..but arrived to me via USPS,
It was packaged real well, and the device looks of real high quality material. Just from the outside it seems sturdy, well built (no cheap parts, even in the casing).
Havnt had a chance to test it, since my carpc is giving me headaches.

That's a serious bummer.
I think this is exactly what I needed to attack my default Harman/Kardon system from the CarPC.

Is there a way to see truly if mine was part of the first bunch that were shipped out? I'm worried because if it was, I haven't received it yet!

Even I havent received the shipment though my order was placed on 13th and should ideally have been shipped in the first batch for orders placed till 17th.
Considering that the orders placed till June 17th are shipped out on 21st/22nd, it is high time that the orders show up considering standard shipping times from Australia. But you'll never know since the orders can get held up in customs too for various reasons...
The sad part is that there is no tracking information available and all we can do is wait for the mailman to turn up with the box!!!

Oh my bad, I didn't catch that they were coming from Australia!
Yeah wish they could at least provide a date of shipment!

If there is no tracking, then I am assuming our DACs are uninsured as well? That would suck if it got lost in the mail.

Just got my product yesterday.
It drives my HD580s just fine. A solid product.
I still have to compare against my Auzen X-Fi Prelude sound card for giggles (a very good card nonetheless).
I see that some of my MP3 files sound like crap.

hmmm.. so far i have only gotton 1 of my 3. I ordered 2 in one order before the deadline for the first batch, and one after the deadline. I would assume they 2 would come together, but apparently not.

I was in the last batch as well. I'm not expecting to receive mine anytime before the middle of this month. Quality, hand-built items take time, but are always worth it in the end 
I'll wait.
