| Is there a DAC ranking list? What's the point with a ranking List? "punch above their price category? " Most of the choices, recommendations from just about any corner of the market are subjective. Some reviewers go cheap and cheerful and don't believe in pricey models and... | |
| Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation? Besides the equipment specific quips, I think that some of that attitude is alive and well today on this board but thats okay by me. Those Harry Pearsonesque type put downs, as long as they’re witty and not too mean or directed. The last one that ... | |
