Opportunity to Purchase Sony DAS-703-ES DAC

Love it when it snows
Classic attack the opposition with slander rather than presenting a counter argument. And it’s pretty astonishing to say.... "..it being a good 10 years past the point we were told all the green Doug fir in Western Washington would be dead from fo... 
The History Behind Viva Linea?
I can't shed any light on the model history but I will say this, if Viva can't/won't answer these questions and nor can their dealers what does it say about Viva's customer service? This market is too small to treat potential customers that way, V...
