Gustard X30 DAC

I was bitten twice and stand by my statement about their quality control.

That's fair. It's also fair to say that thousands of people have had positive results from well reviewed Chinese gear.  Especially dacs. 

As an owner of "Chi", I find your comments disturbing much like you do my "idfk". 

I’m not a big Chinese buyer. My amp, preamp, speakers, and phono preamp are made in the USA. Streamer in Portugal and turntable in Germany. SACD player and phono cartridge in Japan. Cabling is made in USA and Germany.

Many, if not all, audiophiles use ’chi-fi.’ In this context, I extend the term to ’chi hi-fi.’ What’s wrong with that? Don’t make excuses for your rudeness. Okay, not productive at all...

If you find the term ’chi-fi’ bothersome, take it up with all the audiophiles who use it.

Make excuses for my rudeness?  Right.  I've tried really hard to not be rude. How was my last post rude? 

I'm not bothered by the term Chi-fi. I never said that.
