You are talking about a DAC, this is something different than an amp. For that kind of money NAD made a very good dac. But in general NAD is not a brand in the world of highend. I sold NAD for over 8 years of time. In 2007 I decided to buy it for ...

I have friends with Samsung led screens. They got problems after 2,5 year. Led screens are not more reliable than plasma is. I owned 5 plasma's in 6 years of time. They all still work without any problem. I sold them to friends and family. I also ... 
How to meaningfully audition speakers??

I try to keep audio as simple and understandable for every single person. The same about how I use Audyssey. I demonstrate it on and off so people understand and hear the difference what it does. Same about Audyssey EQ and Volume. Just put it on a... 
How to meaningfully audition speakers??
The way how I use audio is very effective. I can easy let people hear a higher level in quality than other shops give to the same people. This is not subjective. This is what people can hear and understand. So your words are useless ( again, like ...

Since 2007 I focus on what I call 3-dimensional sound. Because the difference between 2 and 3-dimensional is very big. The emotion you feel with 3 dimensional sound is a lot bigger. So I let people listen to both to understand the difference. Soun...

Pass Labs class A can give a very realistic sound in instruments. You can hear the difference easily between 2 different acoustic guitars at the same time. To be honnest I tried this with Ayre, but it does not have the same level in sound realism.

B&W design quality observation. Any downside
The biggest downside of B&W are there crossovers in general. I owned the 802N and 800S in the past. When I auditioned the 800D I stopped. Why? Because a deep and wide stage is the most stunning part in highend audio. When it is not there you m...
