If this doesn't make you feel like you belong to their target audience I don't know what will.

I read, I didn't drink, not even a sniff.. I actually like the look of the little Freyas +, more. Its not an integrated but for that type of money....And Class Ds to boot. I don't care what it sounds like..or they spent on it, It's a class D. with a humpty dumpty DAC. I'm liking mine way to much with that price tag. Cost of living must be crazy in that little production town.. 50 euro, beers, and 100 euro, sauerkraut, and 1000.00 euro, sausages. All I can figure.. Narrow road access, only passable in spring...LOL Regards
