info2@birdland.com, That's a mighty big horn you are trying to toot! Stating that your Dac beats Dac's costing 5 times as much? The Ag was one of last years digital flavors of the month, a Ugly Duckling in a very Fisher-Price type toy-ish enclosure. In my personal digital evaluation it is very comparable with dacs in it's SAME price range. I hoped what it lacked construction wise, would shine through musically. However there are no free lunches in this hobby, & no short cuts! Like anything else in life you get what you pay for!
Last I also checked Anthony Perrotta at Perrotta Consulting, was an authorized dealer on both your website, & his. I hope that he is aware of your slam posted here? Anthony was very supportive of your product upon my purchase. I hope that upon reading this, he drops your product line like a wet noodle. I wish you the best of luck with the peddling of your New Platinum Duck, through your now self-reduced authorized dealer/distributor network.
And if you really have money burning your pockets? Skip right over the Birdland product line, as Solid-Tube Technology is a Fantasy about as valid as the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, & Santa Claus combined!
Contact Anthony Perrotta with your hard earned cash in hand, who also distributes many Superior Digital 2 Analog converters by manufacturers such as the smooth solid state North Star Design 192, & Jerry Ozment's "suhwheeet" vacuum tubed Audio Logic 24 Mxl.
Both will blow the Birdland AG right out of the water like opening day of Duck hunting season!
