What was the best (most impactful) piece of new equipment to hit the market in 2023?

In my direct experience, the Weiss DAC204 (retail $3.5k). With a good, external linear power supply, as good as my Weiss DAC501 (retail $11k) without all the bells and whistles.

In the linked review, he found it equal and in some ways better than the T+A 200 DAC (retail $7,125).

Weiss DAC204 Review 

For me it wasn't a piece of equipment but rather software. I have been interested in the BACCH system for some time but I had no interest in inserting a MAC computer into my system. Their introduction of u-BACCH software for Windows corrected that. Running it through J. River l got exactly what I was looking for at a lower price to boot.

BACCH is from before 2023. Title of the thread is impactful stuff that became available in 2023.

@scottwheel u-BACCH doesn’t have head tracking which is one of the reasons it is a lot less expensive than BACCH. Tell me about side by side seating ?
