Why pay $1500 when a $500 DAC will do? Why pay $500 when a $250 DAC will do?What I want to see is an article that describes in very clear terms what, if anything, an additional spend for a DAC gets. Maybe something; maybe nothing. Given that DACs are the hot item of the year, that would be a great article provided the piece doesn't kow-tow to advertisers.
What are Wolfson DAC chips going for now, $10? in bulk? ckt boards, Chinese labor, box, hmmm, $299 and it would be pricey. It's about high end SOUND but lately it's just high PRICES. Is this the audio BUBBLE that is soon to burst? Why not build in the plastic demag?
