Good one GE: "PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT PEOPLE LIKE ME AS A MEMBER". Groucho Marx Actually, I do belong to a number of non-profits, little get togethers (including a local audio gathering a couple years back), and of course more professional "clubs" so to speak. The -*"fraternity of subjectivist audiophile"*- (and it is very much a fraternity of typically old dudes) - not so much. :eek: On a "serious" note, regarding MQA, while the more expensive Manhattan DAC (ESS 9038) I'm sure is good, what would be interesting would be a -non-ESS Tech DAC based decoder-. The reason being that we know what kind of filtering parameters they're programming into these ESS DACs, but what about a TI/Burr Brown DAC or an AKM DAC? All kinds of reasons worth asking about this of course...
