Having had some long drawn out conversations about some tech considerations (brainstorming), with one of the people at Berkeley, a number of years back:
I can say with strong confidence that Berkeley will very likely not issue a product with even a smidgen of compromise in the area of sound quality. If it is a step backward in that area, for the sake of convenience, or any sake at all, it simply did not happen. They would not do it.
If a feature is missing then there is strong likelihood that they found the path of getting there was a sonic downgrade. Quality over compromise -any level of compromise.
Then the other thing of some folks being gear flippers, flippers so far gone..that they cannot recognize the best they’ll ever hear ---- when they hear it. They’ve lost their center - or they never had it. The game is no longer the beauty of music, or never was.
