Weiss 501 DAC

@verdantaudio So? What are you saying/ Have I contradicted myself? Musical Fidelity WAS a great brand under Anthony Michaelson now it'll most likely go down the poop chute so good luck with that. Distribute the hell out of it.

Regarding Weiss did I not say it was a very, very good DAC?

Better and cheaper alternatives elsewhere especially China and even Cyprus..lol.

Distribute the hell out of Weiss too, I ain't buying.

@melm This is exactly what I said.

@lordmelton I communicated my point poorly.  All I was doing is providing information as to where the product is produced.  You suggested China which is not accurate.  Not making any judgements on your POV otherwise.  

Looking back on the post, I should have inserted the OPs @ prior to "Regarding Weiss".  That part was intended for the broader conversation, not directed at you explicitly.  

@verdantaudio I have never disputed the build quality or sound quality of Weiss they are a high end brand but the World has moved on. Look on the forum this is the only thread about Weiss while there are many threads about the Chinese DACs.

Anthony Michaelson was a pioneer in mid to hifi and I personally own many of his products. I never cared where he produced them they were always of great quality and technology.

What I believe is that the group who bought Musical Fidelity is Chinese backed, unless you can trace all the directors this cannot be proven.

However Anthony was a hero.

@lordmelton Musical Fidelity is owned by Heinz Lichtenengger
