Kondo DAC : Why no reviews ??


I am surprised that one of the best DACs in hifi, the Kondo DAC has no/very little review in the press. Why is that so ? I dont even get to read more than a few user opinions. What is the mystery ?

Have any of you heard it ? Please share your views on this DAC and how does it compare to other good DACs like the Audio Note 4.1X, Playback Design and the likes ?

DAC's are always problematic, the next generation has better processors for half price. The only way to survive for a manufacturer is to keep the ball rolling with an update 2x a year. And a "legend" can hold the price much better, specially when no one compares it or is interested in that. Those who can afford, buy it and are not really mad to hear it is average, colored or slow (or whatever) to this and that. And: touched from the Master counts more than anything else... :-)
>>Agree that Kondo may not be hungry fro reviews but reviewers ? Are they not interested in a Kondo either ?<<

Not if they have to buy the review sample, especially at the prices Kondo charges


Uhhhhh, true.
And when the Importer does not give one for free, the audiophile world will stay in digital darkness then....
Someone has to pay...
