After comparing it to Innuos, Antipodes Audio and Grimm, all I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW.

It always amazes me how different digital can sound between units.

I have one coming in for review soon. Sure sounded great in Florida!

Why the hype? Gamesmanship in my view. Is it the next OMG "can't believe it is digital" wonder technology?

I'm sorry to the forum that I was impressed and really liked the sound of this unit. How DARE I get excited about a new unit that has given me the best sound I've yet to have from digital.

I promise I'll work on being a better person and not sharing my feelings and never use the offensive and triggering word "wow" again when I really like something for fear of triggering some people.

I'm so ashamed of myself for having a positive reaction to a piece of gear.

I'll just mope and hang my head in shame.

NOT. LOL
 
How many shades of "perfect sound forever" can one have?
 
Presumptuous to assume the world knows who made it from the photograph of a plain box with a squiggle on it.

Does the software include HQ Player endpoint?

Congratulations on your new PF. However it's not clear to which Innuos, Antipodes Audio and Grimm models you were comparing it, can you please elaborate?

Oh well, everyone has their own style, I guess.

give it rest, no where on this topic does it have brand/model listed, it was a pretty simple question, only thing "triggered" is you looking for attention and hype

I've not heard of the brand. Is it American? Used Innuos the last 10 years and another UK unit for 5 years before that. On first seeing the logo it took me back to the 1970s.

These were hugely popular over here in the UK and a lot more fun than a €17,500 server.

This is a forum where EVERYONE posts to get attention to their post. That's the point of a forum. If not, no would post here.

And clearly you need to either learn to read better or not be an outright liar - he didn't simply ask for model info.

And if people posting to get attention to their posts bothers someone, how stupid are they to keep coming to a forum?

he asked a simple question, you have to be a smart a55

And you don't need to be such a miserable old man stalking me with your angry posts on other forums. It goes both ways.

Just move on with your life already. :)

Some of you guys all act the same - you post snarky comments and then when we respond you play the victim.

Think of the mental energy needed by the few to take such a simple post and see sinister intent and try and derail the post. It's pretty sad to see.

Hi - this was just a quick initial post. I'll be following up with more details and I can list out the other units as well. Thanks.

I have been scolded for enthusiasm as well. I used to have a system thread and happily reported on every little improvement. For some reason, some highfallutin killjoy gentlemen, who obviously thought highly of themselves, mistook all that for me thinking that my system was the best ever. A pretentious and ridiculous assumption, but it dampened my enthusiasm a bit and gave me second thoughts on starting a new system thread with my new gear. I didn't.

Anyway, just carry on with your enthusiasm, it's a good thing.

Personally, like others, I was not particularly enamored with the "teaser" but as I said, everyone has their own style. Fortunately djsina2 posted the info in #5.

I understand and appreciate the feedback.

I only had time for a quick post and was going to follow it up with a more in-depth one shortly. I figured that was an easy way to just get a quick pic up and some thoughts.

It wasn't an attempt to drag it out - it was simply sort of a 'book mark' for me to come back and share more once my parents leave at the end of this weekend.

It was a simple question to a simple post that, in my view and others, lacked simple, basic information. And my reaction to yet another hyperbolic post about a new dac. But I am glad you like "it", whatever "it" is. What's sad, or perhaps ironic, is your complete misunderstanding, overreaction and anger. Bye.
