Chinese DAC's


I have been looking at several DAC's trying to decide which one to put in my system.  Some of those DAC's I'm looking at  are built and designed in China.  Without getting political I don't think trade with China will ever be the same.  I hope that these engineers are able to get there products to market.  It would sure be a waste of talent.

So, should she have stocked parts for 3 months, 6 months, a year, two years worth of production? 
 

The, up until recently, stable global supply chain, means people don’t keep big inventories of parts. Real time logistics and shipping has taken care of the need to sit on large inventories.

But, she should be able to plan for this, right? 

The US and EU has created the monster that is China and now it’s time to get off the smack of cheap imports. I know Manley put up their prices every year, tariffs or not, inflation.

If the US debt is not paid down you’ll be taking wheelbarrows of cash to the supermarket.

But you say the Green New Deal was supposed to address this!

Janet Yellen stone faced lied and said printing another trillion dollars would not cause inflation.

No such thing as a free (Biden)lunch.

So, don’t buy the cheap Chinese products, and Manley shouldn’t increase their prices. Seems like someone wants to have their cake, and eat it too.

The problem with the value proposition is if we all know a tariff is being applied we understand we're paying an extra tax, ruins the value for me and likely many others. I don't want to pay an extra tax, especially to a gvt. I don't support. I'm laying low for the time being, not purchasing non-essentials.

 

As for Chinese dacs or any product/service,  same as any other country, variable quality universal, politics don't play a part in my purchase decisions. You may not like China but vast majority of people benefiting from their technology/services.
