Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Caveat emptor! yes with all things..........

""This is not about them.""

Yes it is, it is about their products, and which product is right for each individual....

""customer experience which you have no experience with.""

What are you talking/lying about? Of course I have a ton of experience, (not as many as some here), but a lot of experience listening to, and buying a lot of different products. Why would you make such a foolish assumption?, - not knowing anything about anything, and about me?

""A manufacturer is going to be build a product that they think they can sell for a profit, or they will not build it.""

Absolutely not.... you saying that assures me that you have no clue what you're talking about. I have seen products that the manufacturer has never intended to sell. Besides, it's a balance of both. What sounds good, and what and where it fits into the market. Yes, in some cases, a manufacturer may build something, but never bring it to market.

""You are dreaming, they set a price based on what the market will pay.""

No. The price is set according to a number of factors. Again, you need to go out and get some listening experience. And some knowledge about what you are talking about....

What is the average mark-up of a retail price vs the "street" price of many high end components? In general, what is the "cost to build" percentage vs the retail price of most components?

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
