Fang,
This seem s like a great concept for those of us who, without this hobby, would melt away into a sea of Reality show programming.
Thanks for taking the initiative to meet our small, yet powerful, consumer demand.
It seems like the upgrade path has many options to take, in the manufacturing realm.
It won't be long until we see a lot of "copycat" startups trying to produce the same genre of players. Perhaps a patent is in order.
It would be nice to be able to swap out the entire amp section (not just op-amps and buffers) to fine tune it to our tastes and finicky, ever-changing fickle needs. Perhaps a partnership with Ray Samuels or Justin for a Tomahawk or Pico amp section.
Please put me down for one. I want to be on the cutting edge of this new concept.
What sound signature, can the DAC be compared to, when talking about other fine sources on the market?
