What is the best DAC ever made?

Bill, those countries reside in Asia. Bulgaria is in Europe.
Bar, Im not familiar with your experience with APL, but sometimes when you go to a bespoke shop the waiting time can be a little longer. From what I know there are no outstanding orders and the people that actually own the products are very happy with them. I dont know how many owners/designers you get to talk to direct when you phone them. APL can easily be reached by phone if you phone during regular hours.

The drama surrounding APL is well publicized; Alex dug his own ditch.

On an unrelated note, bespoke is a term applied to clothing.

I know where Bulgaria is located; it is very easy to find on a map.

The same cannot be said for APL.

Bar, let me recommend Tom Mahon.

Is he your tailor?
