The real problem is that people who believe or pretend that audio can never be perfected can dupe people by endlessly *improving* the sound quality of audio. A good example of this would involve comparing the Pono digital player (priced ca. $350) or Astell and Kern ($3500) to the far cheaper Sansa, FIIO or other lower priced (ca. $60-100) players that have good enough performance to not add audible artifacts. Money is a good attractant for false claims about audio performance! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105413 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
