This hobby is as fragmented into as many different levels based on taste, income and interest as any other hobby.
Mostly, the audiophiles reading this aren't buying that Ultra High End stuff; the audience for UHE isn't interested in the hobby in the same way "we"
are and likely don't have the time nor inclination to hang out hear, or at any internet audio site.
The manufacture's targeting that demographic don't hang out here and the people reviewing it live in a fantasy world where being able to do so is their only access to hearing it, and then they get to share their fantasy with YOU.
I find that area of this hobby pretentious, tedious and ridiculous: it seems to have more to do with lifestyle than listening to music as an audiophile pursuit.
But to each their own: I'd just as soon read about collecting Faberge Eggs or yachting, as UHE audio has as much to do with me as those endeavours, minus the artistic vision and craft that goes into them.
Plus I can listen to music while doing so.
