Very interesting ad on Drop touting “Objective“. Perhaps a hidden reference to ASR ?

That link brings me to google.com.

Reference to ASR or not, I do hope it can stand up to scrutiny when one of them inevitably ends up in Amir's hands.

It works now, though you may want to remove the utm_ stuff: https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-x-grace-design-standard-dac

it is good that they have released detailed specifications. Let's see if they can be independently validated.

Could be. It's also possible that from a brand perspective they're trying to create continuity with some of their other audio collaborations / in-house products. For example:

1. [discontinued] The Massdrop Objective DAC (ODAC).
2. The Massdrop Objective 2 (O2).

Given the genesis of those two products I think they may have borrowed NwAvGuy's language. (e.g., NwAvGuy's post about the O2.)
