Sophia Electric is not honest
My interpretation.Having knowledge of international trade laws I can stipulate that if a manufacturer declares that the product is “Made in USA” then it has to have been constructed in that country.Conversely if it the logo says “Product of or Ass... 
Denon 3910 vs Maranz ud 7007 as players of SACD discs
+1 for the 3910.  
What DAC chip does this Space-tech Lab use?
Markham is a community in Ontario not BC.  
Esoteric K-05XD
Never have been a big fan of Esoteric players.Have owned several and in my system they never did measure up to the my standard of excellence.  
PS Audio Perfectwave transport still good?
The Directstream transport would not be my choice.Unless SACD is a requirement I would look at a CEC belt drive,which I currently own,or Jays Audio MKIII.If you care to discuss flip me a pm.

Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3
Great thread.I'm using a CEC 3.3 and couldn't be happier but the addiction of pursuing excellence has a hold on me.Considering Jays MKIII and the Project at this time.Chuckie and Charles you guys rock.  
Recommendation for amp

Stereophile's 2021 products of the year
Also reviewers comments and opinions maybe somewhat colored by the benefit received from manufacturers who simply gift the product being evaluated to the reviewer.When is the last time you have read a negative review of any component. 
Schiit Saga+...What’s the point of the tube?
I've been enjoying audio for 50 plus years and I've auditioned ,bought and sold a lot of product.The Saga is astoundingly accomplished at its price point,particularly when engaging the tube option which is preferable in my system. 
Anyone have any experience with CD transports? Particularly Jay’s Audio?
Can't comment on Jays transport though I am curious.Current reference is a CEC 3.3 and it is the most accomplished transport I have owned.Used in many reference systems.
