Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio?


With the insane prices now being asked for audio equipment from manufacturers around the globe is china going to fill in the gap between the haves and have-nots.? We are already seeing some signs of this with manufacturers like Jays Audio and Denafrips offering product-performance prices below global market value. The only thing I see holding them back is they will always be one leg behind the rest of the world since they copy most of the technology they use and world wide acceptance.

I got multiple Chinese equipment and American, some Danish, English, Israeli, Japanese and Portuguese. I could care less where they are made as long as they give me the biggest sound value for the cost. China's Jay's and Gustard products are absolute standouts for me in the digital world.

I don't consider my Audio GD r7 he mkii a poor man's piece of equipment.  I have put it up against Wiess dac 502, dcs Bartok, Berkeley alpha dac, and a few others. None of them sounded dramatically different or better.  A perfect example of well made and designed Chinese products. 

@jasonbourne71 “China will never contend in that segment!”

 

Never is a very long time….

I trust my ears.   Trust your ears too.   If you think some equipment sounds better and is satisfactorily supported, then buy it.   Who cares where it’s made.

It is incredible that people will argue against simple evidence based on prejudices...

And how do you compared so much companies from China and Us or any other countries ?

 i put a link above...

The ANSWER is there...

And china technological advances begin to eclipse US in many fields ...

Then seriously claiming that simple amplifiers or dac  technology is nowhere in China equal to US or Swiss or Germany or Poland, is preposterous...

How can adults be so twisted in  simple facts and simple reasoning ?

Chauvinism ?
