I decided to keep my Chord Dave DAC and leave my 2-channel as is, but I did order a Trinnov Altitude 16. I want to improve my HT  and be done with it all!

sns, I understand your post. I don't feel the need to prove anything to a dealer or anyone about my system. I know the dealer never heard my system. Even if he did and didn't like it, it's no big deal to me. Building an audio "system' is personal...

terenthia, Listening to the DCS Rossini Apex made me realize that there are DACs that do things that I prefer over the Dave. Like I’ve stated, unfortunately the Rossini Apex was too bright in my system, but the soundstage, retrieval of details, a...

Of course dealers are in the business to make money. In sales your learn A,B,C(always be closing)...I taught Professional Selling Skills many years ago. I told my trainees to be honest with people,  always perpetuate, think longterm, and treat peo...

audiojacks, I currently use a Chord Dave DAC. Prior to the Dave I had a PS Audio Directstream, Bricasti M1 SE, Jeff Rowland Aeris, and a Rockna Signature DAC. I prefer the Dave to the aforementioned DACs. Hearing the DCS Rossini APEX in my system...

  terenthia, In my opinion Youtubers are worse than dealers. I've heard a Youtuber belittle people by stating that a poster is jealous of them or doesn't have the money to purchase the same level of equipment. I have a friend that owns a 2 milli...

rubicon15, He is the owner. I believe in humanity and try really hard to treat people the way I want to be treated. Some dealers have no use for people that only want to spend $20K on a DAC.

carlsbad2,  Thanks for the invite, but I live in Texas. For some reason I decided to stay away from tube based DACs. I will drive to Dallas before the new year and directly compare the Dave to the Ideon ION DAC. Although it will be different from...

I've had some great experiences with really good dealers. My most recent experience seems to be a more common theme with several people. How does this hobby grow, if dealers refuse to meet potential customers were they are? Everyone can't spend or...

Thanks to everyone that took the time to be part of my thread. I just wanted to share my experience with other's in this crazy hobby.  Thanks to the nice comments about my system! We all have our own journey. Individually we decided how much we ...

deep_333, You can't see my other sub, but I have two subs. The subs were set-up by the dealer using a mic/REW and several hours of listening,
