Impact of Tariffs on Audio Market

I live in Canada,( in a part of the country which cannot be bought by anyone), and i  was in the obligation to buy a new dac because my old one die...

Guess what  with  tariffs i opted to order from China instead of buying  one from the US...

Add a higher cost to begin with if i take one from the US compared to China, but quality had a price no ?

Yes but i am not on a big audio budget and with the tarifs +postal fees, i decided to order a Chinese one free of  postal fees and tariff  and i saved few hundred bucks...

 Will the US  gear would have been better ?

I think so...

 But i can do with  the Chinese less costlier one, well reviewed under comparison and not too well behind the American one...

Tarifs war in this actual world means war... By the way...i am too old to be enlisted by force...

Thanks for this interesting article...

Or you could buy an excellent Canadian DAC

A word to the wise that some members here would like to argue, and then cause this thread to be deleted. 

Or you could buy an excellent Canadian DAC

I did not stumble  on one offered new and minimally good at 200 bucks ...

Did they exist at this price in Canada?

 We are not all budget open without limit...I was looking for something around 200 bucks like a minimal  Geshelli from US ...

By the way this hobby for me was more about learning acoustics than buying the most costlier and the best gear design in the world...

Anyway i am very proud to own two high end gear piece of the past which are my main music system :  The Sansui Alpha model and the AKG K340, the only real hybrid headphone...

Then i know what a good sound is and what are the limitations of my system...
