You're missing the point about the CP-800. Everything works as advertised and promised (unlike the 1100). With the 1100 I had to BUY another product just to use the product I already paid to use. I had to buy a USB to SPDIF converter. An unnecessary expense just to be able to use the product I already bought.
The CP-800 USB input works perfectly (unlike when I bought my 1100). The CP-800 plays 24/192 files - it just down converts them - which is fine and actually sounds great. The reason the fix is taking so long is because they are not only adding the 24/192, but they are adding three or four more features to the preamp. I won't pretend to defend a 2 year fix as being reasonable - it's not. It's completely unreasonable - but at least I didn't have to buy another product just to make it work. It works as advertised, sounds great and didn't cost an arm and a leg.
