Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ?
I did not name anyone because I did not want to embarrass anyone- however you just did a good job of embarrassing yourself. I find it amusing that you recognise yourself as making bloviated, meaningless, nonsensical posts.

There are a number of posters who know what they are talking about and whose opinions I value. On the other hand there is one in particular who makes lengthy posts which are full of rubbish, off track and who has no understanding of what a PM is. ...

@mahgister : " "Wise post! I dont need to write anything more..." And then......? Seriously though, rather than look at poor Topping Dacs, if you want to look at real high quality Chinese Dacs look at Audio Music Dac/1.

@jaybe  If you think it is a waste of time, then do not comment.    
Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days?
