Thanks. I disagree about warranties being overrated, especially for complicated things like a DAC. A friend got the Holo Spring and it had a hum. The company jumped on a replacement within two days. It was perfect service. Same thing happened with his Ragnorak. In both cases, being the first buyer lead to a quick resolution. If I’m going to drop nearly $3k, I want some assurances. Others probably have a higher risk tolerance than me, so to each his own.
Still hoping someone out there has some solid info on my question.
