About the Matrix Audio ND-1 DAC

 I asked if they throw me a bone and take a Shitt BiFrost in trade.
 

I think you may have had them at “take a Shitt”.  They got offended and declined. 

just kidding 

Where's spell check when you really need it?

I missed it entirely.  I will have to call them back and apologize. 🤣

@audphile1 

Logic suggests they must be selling gear at such prices or else they’d be charging less but I know nothing about business so there may very well be factors involved of which I’m unaware. 

@curiousjim 

So which direction are you thinking of going at this point? 

@stuartk 

not much has changed other than adding the Mystique Z to my short list. I haven’t had time to find out more about the Burr-Brown's legendary PCM58P DAC chip, like why the call is vintage and legendary. Just how old is this chip anyway? 🙂

I’m also really curious about what the differences are between the chip verses the whole resistor ladder. My wife has me booked through Saturday, so I won’t have a lot of reading time until at least Sunday.
