What is interesting is that Mercman proclaimed there was a "problem" on this board with Gordon Rankin.
I have NO problem with Gordon Rankin or his products, and by all accounts he has happy customers. It is with his posts.
Fmak, who i don't always agree with said some manufacturers go about brow beating here on this forum, and he is right.
If GR had take the tact of saying, "USB audio, you just may be surprised, give it a listen"...we get "Gang, USB audio BLOWS AWAY a $10,000 transport." That puts a HUGE bullseye between your eyes, sorry.
And we get things like Ethernet sucks for audio, when in fact it has been used in recording studios and in mission critical live audio applications for a decade plus. Then we here about an Ethernet product he developed, and now a DSD module, after proclaiming DoP worthless.
The fact is it has never been a good strategy to denigrate competitors or competing technologies to sell your product.

Agreed. This was one of the ethical principles upheld by the founder and CEO of the computer company I used to work for. He was thrown out by the Wall Street people who had no moral scruples and were interested only in money without regard to screwing customers or employees. Within two years after I left the 100,000 employee company had evaporated. This was around 1996. In another dozen years Wall Street learned how to tap directly into the taxpayers to bail out their incompetence and fraud.

Tony, at my sales first job right of college I was told this. For some reason it has stuck with me ever since.
I was always impressed when the owner of the company, when asked by a potential customer about a competitor, he would say, "They make great products", or when asked about a competing technology, he would say "Perfectly valid approach, but we do things a bit differently for the following reasons". The company grew leaps and bounds in short period of time and I stayed until it was sold, an another opportunity appeared.
But I always remembered that approach.

All you need to know is I left with enough money to never have to work again, drive Italian cars, and hire 10 pee-ons like you as my man servants. And I'm not joking.

Yes you are very impressed with yourself, as shown by your attitude here.
BTW: Your Yugo is a copy of an Italian car so it doesn't really count.
And... As far as you being peed on by your 10 man servants, you could have gone down to the pier and had that done for free. I guess we now can see the genesis of your love of STREAMERS...
Let me mull that over while I fire up my Maserati this afternoon. And when I head to the airport tomorrow to one of my two European residences, where I am installing a new streamer. Yes, really.
