DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC

I saw this You Tube video which was posted by Headphones.com which at the beginning talked about the site taking the side of Golden Sound (GS) & then GS himself going through the details of what happened (his side of the story).

https://youtu.be/R7NxRFT6FiI

While I am not taking any sides until DCS comes out with their story publicly. While we all are aware that many times companies force reviewers to remove the criticism of their products by employing different ways. But what should be the way forward about the reviews for reviewers and companies?

Can we as the end consumers and as a community come-up with the framework around reviews?

Some of the blame lies squarely on the head of gullible consumers who place too much credence on what any reviewer has to say.

Navigating the confusing landscape of high end audio can be daunting hence the emergence of sites like ASR.

@viridian.  The exact words:

 

In May 2024, my colleague in the USA instructed a lawyer to communicate with GoldenSound in an attempt to reach a resolution. I was aware of this letter and my intention at this point was to reach a solution by mediation or another process – not to instigate a seven-figure lawsuit. However, I appreciate that in the context of additional communications that have since come to light, this is not how this will have been construed and I apologise for any distress caused as a result of this

I heard most of their equipment the Bartok and newer model are very detailed and 

good but may not be the most natural sounding with some electronics ,

if they don’t like it tough schit , getting sued for having a opinion will lose them customers DCS -  Deranged Control Syndrome !!
