| Ayre DAC vs Auralic vs Metrum vs Bel Canto Jcote: I should have used more measured language, and I apologize for that. I'm not taking away anything from your view on things, and certainly my opinions are not the only ones that count. I certainly have made no claim that my opinion is author... | |
