Prospectives on Chi-Fi

The weak link in my Matrix Audio gear is the company's service/support.  It's not terrible, but I don't think it can compare to what you get from, say, Benchmark (whose products are "designed, assembled, tested, and shipped worldwide from ... headquarters in Syracuse, NY").  Furthermore, some Benchmark DACs are actually less expensive than the Matrix alternatives.  

I had Smsl Do200 as a Dac.  Designed and made in China.  A brilliant product.  Time will tell in terms of reliability.

Good article by Srajan. One of the best CD players I’ve had the pleasure to own came from China…Raysonic CD128. 16 plus years, still sounds great. 

Yes @roxy54 Not real good at typing on a iPhone . Thank god for your grammar and spellcheck here in this forum. You do that quite regularly. I love scrolling through the archives and reading up on people who post reply’s. Very telling of a person and their characteristics.

Caught my own typo…

You're welcome @jeffstrick . I'm sure that you meant to say replies.
