@freediver The high end audio market is a global market in which China plays a most critical role. Not just audiophiles who trade with China, but all Americans will be effected by having to pay significantly higher prices when trading with China. This issue is of great concern to all, and an absolute reality . So, why does mentioning this critical issue on this forum, an issue that effects so many (especially the high end audio industry) have to be classified as "Political Agenda?" Much like yourself, I strongly reject any type of politically based saber-rattling on this forum. However, I do not believe that those who express concern over this particular issue on this forum are advocating any kind of a politically base agenda. Hysterical overreaction and finger pointing isn’t helpful either. Happy listening.
Chinese DAC's
I have been looking at several DAC's trying to decide which one to put in my system. Some of those DAC's I'm looking at are built and designed in China. Without getting political I don't think trade with China will ever be the same. I hope that these engineers are able to get there products to market. It would sure be a waste of talent.
