Kondo DAC : Why no reviews ??

The retail price hasn't changed in many years, it's 3,300,000 Yen. The retail price has gone up in US dollars based on the value of the Yen to dollar and at today's (8-16-11) exchange rate the US retail would be $43,000.

They sell all they make and there's a waiting list to boot!

Bombaywalle.....your hypothesis is very accurate. Most customers of Kondo are not your average audiophiles, they are music lovers and really are not after the most accurate sound (whatever that is) but after a musical experience that let's them get immersed in sound and enjoy the experience. For accuracy there are many other brands to choose.
Kondo never "requests" reviews again they are just too busy hand-building their gear and besides, you are right again where a reviewer may not fully understand one piece of Kondo gear where a "system" of Kondo gear would speak the truth.
Dealer disclaimer noted!

So here's the "deal". Someone buy one (I'll sell one unit at cost) you will have to prepay then wait between 2 - 3 months before it arrives in the States, then it will go off to a reviewer for upto 3 months when it would be returned to me and shipped off to the lucky customer. (this offer is only good in the US of A).
Anyone up for the offer?
