Roon was the kicker that got me back into 2 channel this year after a 10yr hiatus. Elac F5 speakers were also key, to get my foot back in the door. -
The PSU looks good on the left, but yes the included power cord is as short as possible, it just barely reaches over to the power port on the DDP-1. The PS-5 is not really reversible as the feet are on the bottom and the silk screening for the power button would be upside down. Now the question is, should I ever add their phono stage which shares the same form factor as the PS-5, would they make one in a left hand configuration for symmetry. The phono stage would also be powered by the PS-5.

I've been enjoying the DDP-1 and PS-5 along with two of their monoblock amps (Elac F5s), playing mostly DSD and Tidal within Roon. I am looking forward to your review. Specifically I would love your comparison of the built in USB DAC to that of external DAC like the Yggdrasil, or even the Berkely Alpha USB >AES>DDP-1.
