Lateral move doesn't mean anything unless we put some parameters and perspective around it. Is it a lateral move in terms of sound quality? Or is it a lateral move in terms of price?
Sure we can move laterally in terms of price, but that doesn't necessarily equate to a lateral move in terms of sound quality.
I've actually gone DOWN in price [significantly] on some items but have gone noticeably UP in sound quality by a huge amount.
Example: $4000 Luxman DA-06 DAC compared to a $700 Topping D90 DAC. DOWN in price. Huge improvement in sound quality. The Luxman sucked.
So when someone throws out "lateral move" are they coming from a pricing perspective or a sonic perspective?
