Chinese DAC's

@lordmelton 

So, don’t buy the cheap Chinese products, and Manley shouldn’t increase their prices. Seems like someone wants to have their cake, and eat it too.

The problem with the value proposition is if we all know a tariff is being applied we understand we're paying an extra tax, ruins the value for me and likely many others. I don't want to pay an extra tax, especially to a gvt. I don't support. I'm laying low for the time being, not purchasing non-essentials.

As for Chinese dacs or any product/service,  same as any other country, variable quality universal, politics don't play a part in my purchase decisions. You may not like China but vast majority of people benefiting from their technology/services.

You know that's not what I said. Manley automatically increase their prices every year, my dealer is always complaining. Manley don't hold the perceived value of the Big Mc, not my taste either.

So the stupid bint Eveanna has just confessed to the audiophile community that a Manley amp is mostly made by Chairman Mao and the people's army. Friends like this don't need enemies....lol

Gustard X26 Pro is awesome

Topping is a good company for dacs along with smsl which are also very good and there is no price increase on them.
