“a waste”? but your point is valid. It is a disposable society out there. Therefore, looking/paying for quality items can be a gray area full of second guesses. The good news is audio manufactures are offering more and more upgrade paths for their equipment. Such as McIntosh’s DAC1 & 2 or PS Audio FREE software upgrades. I’m personally working back from the speakers. Next up amps than pre-amp. Sources will come later but until then my Vault2i and Oppo 205 will do.
