I would expect that there would be examples in audio as in many other areas, products that are expensive but do not provide a quality outcome commensurate to the price tag. The products in your system are expensive with I expect a corresponding quality outcome. Are you aware of any audio product that provides a serious quality outcome that in relative terms is not also expensive? There is no thing such as a free lunch or a free ride.

I did not really debate your point as for the most part I agree, though I do know of some DACs that embarrass ones that cost 10-100x as much.

My apologies for my misunderstanding. I am pleased that you and I have a general agreement on the position of the matter of the relative expensiveness of quality audio outcomes. I assume that the Gryphon is worth the expense for the few able to afford it. John Edited December 22, 2019 by Assisi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
