Yes, yes, yes, I did hear a system.
And I did hear their nice big amps and top notch cd transport and their cables and large speakers, so yes I heard a system. And feeding that system was the dac.
I did not freaking review the dac for goodness sake. I gave just gave my impression of the sound coming from it (the dac) and the rest of the gear when asked for more info. This after I merely said I would pass based on what I heard. If you are using your best stuff to showcase your products and it sounds like any other run of the mill system with a $300 caliber front end then perhaps the system is at fault.
By all means to review it you need to listen to it in your own system.
I only meant to point out to the builders of the bandwagon that perhaps they may be premature to crown this reasonably priced dac the new Flavor of the Month, especially since most of the fanboys praising it had not heard it either in any system or in their own!
