Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced

My $10.00 "atomic" alarm clock is accurate to 1/10th of a second a year. Why would anyone pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a timpiece that is accurate to 2-3 minutes a month? There's an audio analogy in there somewhere.

Back to the topic at hand: Though an old component, I nominate the Soundstream DAC-1 (designed in conjuntion with Krell!), for the uncoveted award. If one likes the sound of fingernails on chalkboards reflected by glass, then The Soundstream DAC-1 is for you.

At $17,794.50, I did not buy thisM&K Sound MP300 White Monitor Speaker 5.1 X12 Denon AVR-X5200W

But it seems a wee bit overpriced

I will chime in here;
I felt that this example supports Aerial 6t & 7t loudspeakers. Over-priced in comparison to performance.
Dynaudio speakers fit this category as well.

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Don't like to bad rap stuff!!

Nothing really. Just cause something does not float my boat does not mean it might not be the apple of another's eye. 🍎 👀
