I'll also note that Mark Levinson (as they note right up front) is a brand owned by Harmon (owned by Samsung).  I believe his next company was Madrigal Audio Labs; then he did Cello with tom Colangelo. So more truth.  Not sure what XMBw4 is thinking.

Auralic was fantastic. The Vega DAC was a certified bargain. That was a lot of DAC for not a lot of money. In fact, I had to pay substantially more to get better.

I assume he just couldn't get the volume that he needed to get to keep it all rolling. His work was good enough to get serious reviews from mainstream reviewers, unfortunately, once again, I'll assume that takes money as well.

It's a rough business.
