What a ridiculous post! I’m an old guy too, but I would hesitate to criticize products that I haven’t, at least, tested. Your statements make NO sense. Just because you didn’t "fall for the stand alone DAC thing" doesn’t mean it isn’t valid. I didn’t believe it until I tried it, but now I’m a believer in stand alone DACs. I am sure that my criteria would NOT be that my CD player weighed more than a DAC, so it must have more value. Ridiculous!
DAC vs Tube CDplayer
My modded Cayin cd17 Mark 1 the guts of the unit,look far superior build/parts vs any DAC I've seen up to $6K+. When I finsihed modding my Shanling CD3000, both the Cayin and the Shanling will out shoot any DAC on the market.
I am old timer and stay what is proven. I never fell for this DAC thing.
$6K for something that weighs less than 5 lbs witha few tiny chips, = no thanks
