@thyname Hey @mikelavigne : you are spot on. I wish I had your testicular fortitude in approaching these Dow Jones types.i don't really see my posting as approaching anyone. i had no such intent. just answering your question. i do happen to think there are lots of modestly priced fine sounding dacs out there. so i do understand why it's hard for some to not connect the dots on what makes some dacs so expensive.....and whether they are worth it. the value equation is different for everyone......depends on your expectations. personally i came to MSB trying to find a dac to be seamless in my system with lots of high level analog. that is a tall order. and the MSB does that better than any digital i have heard. my vinyl and tape are top level. so if you are simply wanting to improve your current digital, then the answer for you might be different than for me. and we can both be completely right. my only issue here on Audiogon is that so many opinions are offered without ever listening......mostly dismissing products just based on price. more social commentary than a hobby forum mindset. and so be it. i just don't happen to care much for it and it's off putting to me. i certainly do not look down my nose at well performing modestly priced gear. nor should i. if i did i deserve scorn. |
