And if Mike closes the thread, which I believe he should, what's your next move?

Per LinkedIn, Gordon took the role of "brand ambassador" three weeks ago" . Who was responsible for that?

How does this thread conclude? When Mike says it does?

Shame on you GSO. Bad, bad, very bad.

Dear Sir Montana. Taking sides versus asking people to discuss a topic in a productive (I respect your opinion but I disagree) manner are two very different things.

WOW. What a thread. First off, I take no sides because I consider it entirely inappropriate and self destuctive. This is supposed to be an Audio forum, not a political battlefield. Having said that, this entire thread is another example of why we (our society) is so divided, so tribal, so fucked...

Michael and GSO. Thanks for the input.

Hi. Just curious. What is the MSRP of this dac? Fraction of the price compared to what excluding Wadax and Aris Cerat? Thanks in advance for the info. Best.

Live on a summit now of sorts. One of the highest points in Ruidoso. Spectacular, five star views. If this house burns down, gonna buy a nice condo in Colorado and call it good. Best.

Can't do separates anymore. Been there, done that. Joseph Audio, Luxman, Pass Labs, Conrad Johnson, Shunyata, etc. Lost all my stuff in the Ruidoso, NM Sandy Fork fire two years ago. Was selling it all so that took care of that. Have moved to a much nicer house so it all worked out quite well...
