Congrats Steve! A well deserved glowing review.
Merrill (of Merrill Audio) really liked the ODSE when I invited him over to compare his Meitner to my, then newly acquired, ODSE. He and some of his friends had just finished their own DAC shootout and found his Meitner to be the winner. He was very quiet while we listened to the Meitner, Lampy Big 6 and the ODSE. He never formally admitted defeat of his Meitner but he agreed that the ODSE sounded the best of the 3 in my system and my room.
He told me the next day he really liked it and had reached out to a reviewer friend of his to tell him about "his" discovery. Lol. I guess his Friend (who was obviously Mr. Borden) liked it also.
