Yes, David, he said 1.5 to 2 weeks and that he would post about the whole process on his website once he knew more.

This is going to present another possible upgrade opportunity: to replace hook up wire while driver is being upgraded.  Wire is apparently connected to drivers via banana plugs which should make replacement a little easier.  But of course how would one determine how much of the upgrade was due to new hookup wire or new "cones"?  At any rate I'm holding my horses until Srajan weighs in.  Also, sent him an email to remind him there are a bunch of us Nen owners eagerly awaiting his verdict on the new drivers and thanking him for his review of the IFI pro iDSD Signature which arrives today for a 60 day home trial via Music Direct.  

@stephendunn What will you be comparing the iFi Pro iDSD Signature to? Within your primary system?

Srajan Ebaen was one of my go to reviewers, however, I’ve become less enamoured over the last couple of years . He has many self imposed and rationalized limitations...which of course he has every right to... but it seriously restricts his bandwidth.

BTW, I have the iFi Micro iDSD Signature for desktop duties, when the need arises.

Thanks for the additional information on the turnaround time, etc.

The iFi Pro iDSD Signature would be for a second system although I wouldn’t be surprised if it could hold its own against my Totaldac d-1 dual. We’ll see.

All reviewers I know of have "self imposed and rationalized limitations" so you have to pick and choose. Srajan is one of three reviewers I’ve trusted enough to buy on their recommendation and so far I have not been disappointed. The other was Jack Roberts when he was writing for Dagogo. And the third was Art Dudley who turned me onto Shindo gear. I can see how all three of those reviewers share similar self imposed and rationalized limitations.

I'd go very carefully with shipping back your drivers to get reconed.

1) are you 100% positive you will prefer the new upgrade over what you have now

2) 1-2 weeks turn around,,

ahhh, any guarantee 14 days by midnight last day of the 14??.

**ohh shipping was slow,,,,shop over loaded with recone orders,,,,some techs are out for various reasons...***

Watch Judge Judy sometimes, the things folks get themselves into.

Just saying....

mozartfan  Can't be 100% sure unless you audition them obviously, which I can't.  But, as I've intimated, I would trust Srajan's recommendation.

Jon is estimating turn around time.  I don't think he's done an upgrade yet.  He's a very straight up person/distributor, so I think once he knows what the turn around will be, he'll be transparent in letting us know.  Will obviously have a lot to do with volume.

As for Judge Judy, not sure what you're alluding to.  That I do the upgrade and am so unhappy I sue distributor/manufacturer and end up on Judge Judy to get my $1500 back plus original drivers?  Absolutely, she would be my first choice for resolution...
