Interesting quote. His bringing his colleagues/friends (Darko & Lavorgna/Twittering Machines) into the Sonnet discussion is a little weird. Those guys favor the dCS Bartok, Mola Mola Tambaqui, the totaldac d1 tube mk2 and the dCS Rossini -- he hasn't reviewed those, as far as I can tell. So for him to say (even if not definitively, not that reviews are definitive) that the latest Sonnet dac "probably belongs side by side with them or at least gets close" is something of a head scratcher.
