About the Matrix Audio ND-1 DAC

@curiousjim 

Didn’t the guy from Pursuit Perfect System do a review of that DAC?  

@stuartk 

Yep. Everyone seems to love it. That’s my biggest concern with reviewers.  Just once, I’d like to see a reviewer say don’t buy XYZ, it’s a piece of 💩

@ghdprentice 

How fascinating.  I guess if you stayed there for twenty years, you must have enjoyed what you did.  Out of curiosity,  where were Burr-Brown chips assembled back then?

@Curiousjim

We had a waferfab, with testing and packaging done there in Tucson. 

I was head of IT for most of that time and implemented global systems. Yeah, it was a blast. We got purchased by Texas Instruments around 2000... and I was with them for two or three years. They still produce Burr-Brown trade marked DACs. 

Terry in a follow-up youtube is now recommending the DSD setting at the highest upsampling rate which he says is even better than what he was listening to for the main review.

Also, why no discussion yet of the Lundahl transformers?

Also, I like the two settings for output level. That was something that attracted me to Weiss, but it didn't outperform my Luxman.
