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.

@squared80 i heard a difference between all those dacs the sux sounds best and fullest while also the Topping Centaurus R2R sounds good using the eq 

@texasblues1959 I’m not clueless my systems sound great for music and that’s what’s it’s all about

You didn’t answer my question. How much inventory should she have purchased? Enough for 3 months, 6 months, a year or two years? 
 

The constant flip flopping going on makes for an incredibly unstable time in manufacturing. Not just from an inventory standpoint, but also from a financial planing, sales prediction standpoint. Almost 96 percent of the world’s population is outside of the U.S., and with countries potentially applying tariffs on U.S. made goods, how are they to plan for these sales? Based on past models? Those have been thrown out the window.

I can't answer that, I don't know her business.  I would do 90 days and go from there.  She raises her prices regardless of tariffs anyway so I'm not sure why it's such an issue.

I'm not sure what her percentage of sales overseas are but I imagine she would have a plan if she's as smart as you think she is.  I really don't think she's basing her business continuity on CNN.

"Luckily, almost nobody can hear a difference between DACs, so it doesn't really matter."
Good that you think so as you can make do with a $40 dongle. For those of us who can and do hear a difference, we need to spend a bit more to get good sound. Topping does not do it muvluv, and yes I have heard a number of them - the mid range sounds like a howling cat.
