  1. I am sorry if I was a little curt but your statement really bashed the product in a way that it sounded as if everything was muddy. It's so hard to get a true opinion because so many people are loyal to a product or what they have. You should have explained the part about it being mussy on the digital from two sources that were probably suspect in the first place. I know of very few desktops, muchless a laptop that can provide a good source in the first place. I use Flacs on high end Cowon players and I would guess that they would not hold up against a good source. Each of us has an idea of what sounds good. I listened to a $13,000 Mac and B&w system the other day. When I was done I asked the salesman who bought this shit? I could have gone to ebay and put a better system together for a fourth of that. I didn't intend to insult you, just was to tell you that people need to hear everything not just a comment that really shows a different picture than what the whole article said. If I had asked that question i would have blown the amp off even though I might not care about running a computer through it. I have a a5.5 cd player and I would guess that it has the same DAC or similar and it's not muddy. I called you to task because I'm going into tubes now and I go crazy by reading comments on equipment where, someone asks about certain equipment and the comments say, it's black, it's red, no try brand X, it's better. The sad thing is that many of the comments come from people who may not ever had heard the equipment.. I guess I'm saying, tell the whole story and let me decide which parts are what I want and which parts I don't care about. I wish there was a better way to get info on products. Many magazine reviews tell you absolutely nothing except that this speaker sounds good but not as good as $20,000 speaker A, which is 5 times the cost, well DUH That helped a lot. Many of the magazine reviews look to me like they use a form review and fill in the blanks. It's amazing how many of them sound similar and tell you absolutely nothing. Then there are ones that use $100,000 worth of equipment to showcase a $5,000 component and then try to tell you what it's going to sound on a system most people would probably be using it on. Again this being Sunday morning I might have been a little hard on you but I cold tell that the questioner really didn't get helped. I would like to hear a comment from you on reliability and ease of service. I get mixed signals on this subject.
  2. Mr Margee, you do a disservice to people when you give info on a piece and give info that is obviously out of context. The review stated that this was an external source of 2 digital sources an Imac laptop and wireless digital source. They said these two were muddy sounding but very listenable. When it came to a quality source they had nothing but praise. If you want to toot your horn on your equipment go ahead but don't give info to people seeking help which is slanted and bogus. When you reply give accurate info on the whole subject not what you choose to tell and discard.
