I heard placing a pink panther on a DAC improves linearity by at least 5dB.

The reaction though should be ignore, than pounding on Alan on why he charges a few hundred dollars for hand built products.
I am not arguing that chinese dont copy others designs, my point is to not post picture of internals becose evil chinese will immediately jump on the opportunity to reverse engineer the thing is silly. Chinese copy things that are either best performance for money or established brand, March Audio DAC is neither of these.
I argue that its very hard to reverse engineer complex circuit based on pictures and even if there was some evil chinese entity looking to steal the March Audio design, they would not do it by picture, they would just buy it and take it appart.
The connectors are in same place as Khadas board and it also measures just like Khadas board...
what a coincidence.

Don't worry, they are already movingWe are just worried he won't be able to move enough units to stay in business.
Of course. You guys are completely out of touch with respect to latest advancements in DAC fidelity:I heard placing a pink panther on a DAC improves linearity by at least 5dB.

... And will imo have the lowest sales volume of the products I will be offering.
The way I see this product is it offers great performance and has been constructed in high quality fashion wrt to fit and finish. There’s a small price premium, whether that offers ‘value’ to you is a question for each person individually. It’s a high quality small production unit created by someone who cares and has high standards .
It’s not a race to the bottom diy board or mass produced item. There’s choices out there for a reason, You could of course choose to spend £10k on a DAC that offers no performance benefit..
Personally I can’t see a reason to be over critical here and I think Alan has hit the mark wrt price / quality and performance.

That was the final straw in my enjoying videos on products. I was teetering at the edge (Did I just mix metaphors?) after the one from zero fidelity discussing the fine details of different audio characteristics from an entire pile of different interconnects and then the doorstop finished me off (I ran out of metaphors).
The problem is all of these people are so likable, the McGowans, the Darkos, the (whoever the Zero Fidelity guy is) and on and on just have great on camera personalities. They seem so real and down to earth; I want to buy them a beer and imagine I'm cool enough to hang out with them. But even the ones that aren't the guy leaning on the wagon selling us watered down alcohol to cure our severe disease are the guy in the crowd shouting "It worked for me! I can see now." which may be worse. And now everything they have said or will say about products is so severely tainted.
I think Darko's reply to one comment sums it all up quite well "No. It's the constant bitching from those who demand measurements and ABX from people like me who don't do them that makes the audiophile community so frustrating. The constant dick swinging and toxic masculinity. This is a €9 unit and I purposely stated that it makes no difference to two devices and that people should try it for themselves. If I hear a difference, then there is a difference for me. Subjective, yes - just like every single in-store or in-home audition int the history of in-store and in-home auditions. "
@March Audio congratulations on delivering a very impressive, low volume part delivering excellent measured performance at a very good price point. Ignore the people complaining they you aren't competitive with Chinese products produced at 100x the volume. I would happily pay your asking price but...
Why did you have to go the Steve Jobs route and decide what features I need/deserve for me? I don't appreciate apple doing it, I am saddened that you have, because you have eliminated me as a potential customer based on your own beliefs. I use multiple digital inputs from multiple sources with all my DACs.
I can understand omitting luxuries to hit a particular price/performance target, but it's a bit condescending to explain why I don't need features instead. You seem to have chosen the latter approach.
Overall, great job! I wish you tons of success, and I hope you decide to become more inclusive in your future designs so I may serious consuder them as viable options.
Indeed. I know everyone is laughing but there is a grain of truth in this. The additional mass will change the natural frequencies of the object and may damp, possibly reduce the impact of acoustically induced vibration. I will find the link to the Mojo video I made previously. Unfortunately I have sold my Mojo so can't demonstrate this in action. Has to be said though I have not found any other Dac to be as microphonic as the Mojo and would generally consider this a non problem.I thought you scientifically confirmed this was a must-have mod for the Chord Mojo?
