Discuss a review. Provide constructive feedback. Talk to the industry.

RE: TAS Spencer Holbert's Shameful Admission.

What planet are you from? The ONLY folks that think a DAC is obsolete are reviewers..who regurgitate the marketing drivel they are handed by manufactures.

The fact that 99.99999999 % of all the digital music anyone will ever own is in PCM, topping out at 192 kHz. The trail of embarrassing proclamations by the industry concerning digital music is lengthy, with Stereophile critics claiming as Far back as 2007 that physical media is dead...LOL!!!...and one jerk of a manufacturer 18 months ago claiming DXD would be the standard going forward. Apparently none of the recording and mastering studios got the memo,,lol

Robert Harley is an outright liar..he proclaimed in his famous editorial that long term loans are "good" for readers because they see what context a reviewer is reviewing in and it creates "consistency"' all with the notion that EVERY review has a complete list of associated equipment. They do not. Barely half off TAS reviews have this sidebar. There are some TAS reviewers that have NEVER revealed their reference systems,

Lastly..you are using a 14 year old DAC review to illustrate comparisons? What a joke. Shocker..Audio Note to boot. Of FAR more import are comparisons of sub $2000 DACs of today a fare more competitive market. A trust fund baby reviewer like Rochlin playing with expensive toys serves who exactly?
