Opinions about Daniel Hertz


Have anyone heard Daniel Hertz’s Maria intergrated amps with Eva or Amber speakers? Stephen Huff gave them one of the best reviews ever but is it all marketing and hype? Mark Levinson claims to solve the problems of digital reproduction with his master class software which can turn any digital recording into original master tape quality.  
 

But ML had a questionable past such as rebranding Chinese products as his own and marking up the price. Others said he can’t design anything but hires good talent while he works on marketing. His series of business ventures and contentious business relationships would give one pause, but I only care about the sound. What do others think? Did he in fact made a revolutionary breakthrough in digital playback. Or is it all hype? Bottom line is how do his systems sound?

Huff cycles through gear weekly, proclaiming each is the best he’s ever heard. Then, his credit card statement arrives and it gets sold. Seems like a nice enough guy, just a credibility gap never to be regained.

Reviewers sells what they review...

My dac broke a few weeks ago...

 I read reviews about another low cost replacement dac...

It was disastrous...

 I bought a piece of acoustic trash sold as "good"... By many, many reviewers... ( most low cost dac are bad or worst in my experience anyway save the SPS dac )

 

Reviewers had no idea what good sound is, or they must sell, not trash received products...

 

Happily after losing my money, i repaired my French Battery NOS dac TDA 1543 by  SPS , and the miracle happened again : organic anolog good sound as intended by the recording process of all my albums again...

I paid it peanuts on an Ebay bid as new by the designer C. Mariac  who just after put his price near 500 bucks instead of 100 bucks ( i paid it 10 bucka )

 

For any low cost system as mine it is the perfect dac...

 

This thread is filled with a lot of useless verbal diarrhea from those who haven't even heard the Daniel Hertz Maria.
