Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
@keithr   Hope you are well. The O/Twenty’s are $30,000/pair, twenty pair, deliveries were quoted for Q2 2022. The O/Bronze (or whatever the standard production model will be called) is more likely end of 2022 based on the very unreliable rumor... 
I wrote/mailed tax checks today...
@mapman  Would like to see more transparency about how tax dollars are used   I know right? Here's the rub...its easy to follow the money: About two-thirds of the tax dollars paid by Americans each year goes to Medicare etc, Social Security ... 
I wrote/mailed tax checks today...
I am thrilled at the privilege to pay my fair share of taxes each year for the privilege to live in a great country. Far from perfect I know but maybe the least imperfect scenario going.   To everyone wishing for a national sales/VAT tax, it pla...

@jcoehler I believe they presently retail for $5,695 or thereabouts although I will admit I don’t recall. I believe Devore is manufacturing in batches for these and the MicrO’s so I guess it depends on the particular dealer and whether they pre-or... 
Holo May KTE vs Meitner MA3
@lordmelton    @abramsmatch has indicated that these two dacs are both exceptional, sound very close with the May sounding a touch warmer. To some “warmer” is a desired trait, to others it may not be. Horses for courses. Are you showing the phot... 
Holo May KTE vs Meitner MA3
@milpai +1 well said. Its almost like they buy a component and then anything they read that doessn’t proclaim their choice as revolutionary, they slam the review. Keep it up @abramsmatch because your impressions, which happen to be exactly what th... 
Holo May KTE vs Meitner MA3
@lordmelton I believe if you reread @abramsmatch comments, he did try the MA3 utilizing the exact spdif connection utilized by his Holo May. Do you own one or the other of these dacs? It seems @abramsmatch might slightly prefer the MA3 across the ... 
Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?
I hear you @mahgister the meek shall inherit the earth but never forget that someone else will retain the mineral rights.  
Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?
@mahgister    You know you are one of my favorites guys but inflation still trails historical averages. Rates have been so low for so long..it was like a coiled spring finally free from restraint. I’m not saying it isnt painful to those who are ... 
Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?
A recession is always coming. The old wall street joke is “they” have predicted fifteen of the last 3 recessions.

Will do. I will also get to hear an early pair of the OTwenty. No idea when but likely next month.

I have a pair en route which shipped earlier this week. They will be for my office at work. I’m an O96 fan and will have a good reference point from which to report.  
new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today
If you re-read his post, I believe he was comparing the Roon interface with the Aurender captive interface. I agree with you that mconnect is hardly the benchmark for a user interface. Roon is pretty terrific and its implentation with the MA3 seam...
