Ok Ben, here’s one for you for the New Years! Now this is tongue and cheek here with just a HINT of a hint.
For next year, 2020, Two new Soncoz products (after you’ve made oodles of money from the SGD1 dac) could be:
A full component sized (19”) version of the SDG1 with an OLED display added that adds a couple of features I’ve always wanted, a stereo level meter so we could see at a glance how loud a digital source is......like if a cd is brick walled. Or even just an led that pops on if digital 0 is hit.
An indicator for pre emphasi, so we can see if our cd’s have pre emphasis or not.
And.......a revolutionary product in this market, you could probably list price it at $1500.00 and it would sell, and this would be a Full component sized HYBRID DAC! Wait for it........one that is based on the SDG1 AND...AND a fully realized chip based 20 bit LADDER DAC with a switch that one could chose either one at the flip of a switch!!!
Think of it, NOBODY offers that kind of product, and the market would be wide open with no competitor.
Now of course the SD would blow away the Ladder side on the bench but that’s not the point, I bet there are a significant amount of people who would love to have both kinds just to have fun comparing the sound. And at $1500.00 it would be a bargain, especially with a beautiful OLED display right in the middle of that sucker!!!!
Ok, my fantasy is now over, and If you guys think there would be no market for such a hybrid........I bought the Denafrips, and I’m now buying the SDG1. So there you go..........
lol....I am soooo crazy!.......
