RE: Let the grenade throwing begin...

I think that we are pretty much on the cutting edge here. If you look around, there are only a handful of companies that match what we are doing now.
Arguably the only mainstream one to match us is dCS, but at over 10x the price. (They have recently announced an "asynchronous" USB and-on module that only works with their equipment due to the word-clock cable required for best performance.)
And the one company to surpass what we are doing as far as high sample rates the Linn at $20,000. I am told that it sounds very good, but that it only works with its own software which apparently is problematic.
So for a component with this level of performance and technology for less than $2,500 (price not finalized yet), I think we are offering technology that nobody else is (except Wavelength, of course) at a price point that nobody else is matching. We will continue to stay on the leading edge of things as they develop.
