    Coronavirus Is Indiscriminate

    Well... that depends... last year I was hospitalized in Everett at the very hospital where the first US Coronavirus patient was cared for. After several days my white blood cell count had become so dangerously low that the doctors told me that while I should remain hospitalized the reality...

    What you need to know about the virus in China "2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV)"

    TL DR - Everyone is guessing. I am guessing that we are not living through an end of times zombie virus apocalypse movie. I am certain that we will have an interesting story to tell our grandkids - either about a great die-off of the human population, or the time when everyone simply lost their...

    Monoprice Liquid Platinum Headphone Amp Review

    Yup - neither of us got personal. I do regret mentioning anything, because in the end this really isn't the place to discuss economic theory, and I certainly am not deeply schooled in that field. I just had a knee jerk reaction to what is a pet peeve of mine. I should know better.

    Monoprice Liquid Platinum Headphone Amp Review

    I'll stick with what I said. I did not say I agree or disagree with their pricing. I said - in short - that they need to sell for what they need to stay in business and make an adequate profit to make it worth their while. And, the market will give them whatever the market will bear. In...

    Monoprice Liquid Platinum Headphone Amp Review

    To be fair, minimum price is set by the costs plus necessary markup to stay in business. Beyond that price is set by the market - the value people put on it / volumes they are willing to buy it in, along with any other factors such as production limits and the effects on supply versus demand...

    Sorry, I am a little confused by your reply. Are you willing to ship your modified unit to @amirm ?

    Review and Measurements of Topping DX3Pro DAC and Headphone Amp

    @eziitis no doubt the original unit has been measured by @amirm quite extensively. I also don’t doubt that some on this thread have the means and possibly backing from others to do testing. But as the thread and the whole forum are founded on @amirm measurements, would be appropriate protocol...

    Review and Measurements of Topping DX3Pro DAC and Headphone Amp

    Ummm... at the risk of putting my foot in it, can I, rather timidly, once again as I did a few pages back ask @finneybear and others modding their units to send them to @amirm for measurement and comparison to stock units? Brighter minds than mine can then debate the findings, but can there...

    Review and Measurements of Topping DX3Pro DAC and Headphone Amp

    Sorry if this has already been asked and answered... Can you send the modified unit to @amirm so he can quantify the differences vs stock units?

    DX3 Pro issues

    Entirely possible. From my own experience traveling to China, I suspect the blocking is probably more the other direction, however, but with more countries putting up access restrictions, it is possible other countries are affected as well. Not sure why a commercial site for a consumer product...
