Add Chord Cutest (DAC) to Bluesound Node or purchase HiFi Rose RS150BDAC

Ken Fritz article
I just read the article with half a tear in my eye because I already knew the story and it’s sad ending. But it really makes you think about your life choices and how they can affect others. Rest in peace Ken Fritz.
