It really sucks. Everything sounds like ultra-compressed mp3 played through an iphone speaker with bubble-gum stuck to the outer grillwork.

My wife immediately walked out on me, and my puppy started having seizures.

The neighbors called the police on me because of the disturbance the sound created.

Then my ears began to bleed profusely. Our hot tub failed. The solar panels stopped working. The VCR clock reset itself to 12:00 and just blinks at me.

I really should have listened. I should have recognized I was in the presence of an audio savant. I am so sorry. I shall never question his absolute authority in things audio (and everything else). He really is the alpha audiophile. Just look at the post count.

I think I am going to have to quit the hobby in shame now, and take up stamp collecting.

Quite frankly unless Downtown Bruce Browne of Puget Sound or Frank listening to it over Youtube say it sucks, I'm not believing your assessment. It's worthless.
They are the final arbiter of sound quality, great or sucky.

You mean Marty? I personally haven't heard the DAC, or claimed to have. Did you ABX it with the Resonessence Mirus, Or Mirand DAC yet? Those are DAC's I have heard, and have claimed to have heard.

It hasn't burned in yet. Put it in a stove for a few days and then report back.

Yeah Marty only gave it 4 days. It likely just needed 5.

It's fine now. I got my "Manufactured in China" $1.50 USB cable from BlueJeansCable.com. It was as if someone has lifted a veil. The soundstage is now very three-dimensional. The timbre is now populated with wolves like those one sees on Audioquest products. The clouds have parted, and angles have begun to sing forth.

I am glad I am so popular. Amir can I get an illustrious title here?

Marty just tell him you were lying so his tears can dry up.

Well, no. Not really. But this is an audio product review, ok?

Well can I suggest editing for improved content. Not VCR. Oh no, but still old school audiophile.

You have a Tice clock that is blinking on 12:00. No doubt due to the long break-in period with such a highly revealing device.

Sorry for the confusion. It was about Blizzard, not you. I would have thought the title, and mention of the post count, would have made that clear. I actually appreciate your input.

OK, back to the snark!

Yet again folks put down a great technology like VCR due to lack of knowledge:


Better watch what you post. Some just might believe it :)
