How not to buy a DAC -- an audiofool journey

@rikkipuu That is a brilliant insight on the GG3. Thank you for (courageously, LOL) putting it out there. I think I would be on the same boat as you --  preferring GG3 to Aphrodite, although haven't heard either. I love the Pacific DHT, heard at a friend's house.

@alfa100 Thank you for your suggestion, I respect MSB a lot, but these days, they have lost my respect with their over-the-top pricing and their luxury-audio PR  and seem to have lost their the sheen of their salt-of-the-earth audio engineering values that they were known for.

essrand, I agree with you . I cannnot understand the need to make such expensive.  I would like to believe MSB could 

essrand, (sorry sent the above before completing ) that MSB could improve on their previous generation with minimal price increase.  I cannot afford their products.   Luckily I purchased my Analog DAC when I could afford.    

Finally wrote the part two of my DAC journey. Sorry it took so long, but lots of stuff happened in the meanwhile. Hope you like it. Cheers!
