Some of the blame lies squarely on the head of gullible consumers who place too much credence on what any reviewer has to say.
Navigating the confusing landscape of high end audio can be daunting hence the emergence of sites like ASR.
DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC
I saw this You Tube video which was posted by Headphones.com which at the beginning talked about the site taking the side of Golden Sound (GS) & then GS himself going through the details of what happened (his side of the story).

While I am not taking any sides until DCS comes out with their story publicly. While we all are aware that many times companies force reviewers to remove the criticism of their products by employing different ways. But what should be the way forward about the reviews for reviewers and companies?
Can we as the end consumers and as a community come-up with the framework around reviews?
