Weiss 501 DAC

I've extensively listened to the MAN 301 with CD ripper, streamer and built in previous model DAC and it was very, very good. I didn't buy it however because there's better capabilities and value available.

Chinese DACs is where it's at now.

It's VERY good but not surprisingly, it keeps with its professional recording pedigree. Very high-resolution and potentially too cool (for my taste) in certain systems. It's not a sound for everyone. Home audition before you buy, if you can.

I am sure the folks at Bel Cont, Border Patrol, Bryson, Simaudio, McIntosh….would argue no.

May be the rage for cheap.

@jerryg123 Most of those brands will most likely be acquired by the Chinese in the near future. They have already bought many audio companies. As a biker you must be aware they also own Pirelli. Sit back and enjoy the music.

Why I race on Dunlop or Michelin.

Highly doubt any of those companies will be acquired by Chinese.
