Rereading @brbrock’s OP, it does not sound to me like they are asking for our advise on DACs, rather it’s a lament on how the current trade situation is going to affect the audio industry and it’s increasing reliance on China as a supplier of parts and finished products, using his pending DAC purchase as a basis. Fair question.
Short answer, dunno. For me, @panzrwagn nailed it. My advice, buy existing inventory now, or wait an indefinite period of time to see how this plays out. Across the board USD is currently down 9%.
