Various DAC Audition Impressions

Ultra amps ???

Why because they are big /welll made / expensive?

I havent heard the Stelavox as its quit a new product, may be next year in Vienna .

For music FMA is market leader.
Leaving all these Expensive Dacs as mentioned in this thread in the dust .
I was simply intrigued that you have heard lots of ultra equipment, and consistently preferred FMA to them (also an ultra amp and ultra price as well). Having heard it in our home before, I was very impressed, but the cost was just a bridge too far. On my end, only heard the lower powered monos. Never heard the 286c but certainly heard excellent things about it from people who had tested it in HK alongside a CJ GAT 2...I heard about it because I was asking about the upgrade from CJ GAT 1 to GAT 2 and inquired.

This relentless over the top promotion is not doing FMA any favors imho.

Fine with me
FMA is not my business and im in no way associated with the brand .

I pay for my own expenses when i visit shows.

Have you even ever heard a good FM set up or are you a forum expert?
I have not, nor did I claim to have. I really don’t care about their products one way or another. I have no reason to doubt they are good.

My comment is directed, as I said, at what comes across as an extreme obsession with touting FM as “the greatest” at every possible opportunity, no matter the thread topic.

I think we got the message dozens of similarly worded posts ago.

I would encourage you to do everything within your power to purchase their entire line and live in a never before realized state of HiFi Ecstasy!
