I don't want to casually throw potshots at Audio-GD, but to me there are just too many red flags:
In particular, saying X is bad (when X is something very commonplace and traditionally accepted by the usual engineering analysis) and selling products that don't do Xwithout a solid explanation for why, seems fishy. [on second thought, they have stated in some product pages that it sounds better that way, so do you believe that?] Take it as you will. Of course they're not the only ones holding those viewpoints or making similar claims.
- Marketing saying feedback is evil
- Marketing advertising lack of op amps used
- Marketing regarding their "Audio-GD Current Signal System"
- Discrete op amps sold (OPA-Earth, Sun, Moon) are relatively expensive yet have not that good performance (see here)
- High pace of new product models developed (is it genius or lack of time spent prototyping and perfecting designs?)
