Denafrips Avatar looks the goods



I really like what I see with this Denafrips Avatar, it’s looks to have the goods inside for the money, and no dvd rom slot drive or CD rom drive used either. Two transformers lot of separate regulators, many little caps to get lower esr than just big ones. lots of different outputs.

And it uses a Philips Philips CDM4/19 swing arm laser, much better than rom drives slot or tray, just a little slower to read the TOC no biggie.

Yeah supply and demand usually make things cheaper, not more expensive.
Nope. Not in the slightest. If you have more product than demand, then, yes, the price should come down. If you have more demand than product, then the price could go up.

Also not mentioned are the supply costs for Denafrips. There's great competition amongst Chinese makes for the same products that are rebranded. It's still the wild, wild west out there's with little, to no regulation.

All the best,
Nonoise

When is the Schiit one coming out?

Don't know, but you can bet it will be cheaper with 14 day trial, and it won't be released at $1700 and then go up to $2300 just because they sell a few.

 
  These are the old Theta Digital people. They surely know how to make a good transport.
And yes they (Mike Moffat) really knows his Schiit when it comes to digital.

You guys are still lamenting the price increase. The majority of future Avatar buyers won't know or care. They'll say, "hmmm...excellent reviews, impressive build quality, stellar manufacturer, and $800 cheaper than the closest competitor -- that's a great deal!"
