Mr. Adams, It's a pleasure to get a response from the founder of Slim Devices. Thank you. It's very impressive to see the founder of Slim Devices as deeply involved in his company as you are. So it's easy to see why you've been so successful with Slim Devices.
Having said that, I take exception to your assertion that my "controversial viewpoints don't seem to be supported by anything at all!" and that I am "ill-informed on the whole subject". I haven't written that many posts, but if you've read the few that I have written I don't see how you could say they were unsupported or ill-informed. Indeed several of them are very complimentary of your products. And the post you're so thin-skinned about isn't ill-informed at all. Ive read a lot of the posts on the Slim Devices Forum and there are some very bright people here, as well as some that truly are ill-informed. I enjoy reading all of them. I suspect some of the really bright guys might make some posts supporting my position and challenging your assertions versus DAC1 or some of the other external DAC options. But Ill collect some public sources and web links and respond to your challenge with information supporting my position. I would have thought that one of the benefits of establishing this Forum was to get some feedback from your clients: some good, some bad, some stupid, but perhaps a few really good ideas mixed in with all the noise and banter that you might use for a future product? Or was it established just so that you could read uncritical compliments? -- BetterDAC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BetterDAC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14931 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813
