Article: dCS Rossini DAC Review

$24k?  There has got to be something which works as well for about 10% of what it costs.

There are plenty of things that work well for 10% the cost. The same can be said about just about everything and hence why I think we should stick to the merits of the product under review. 

You are free to spend $24k on a DAC.  I easily spend more than that each year on things you would consider to be frivolous.   Not too many of us can discuss the merits of a product we don't have access to.

Ok, so do you suggest not discussing them at all?

You are trying to bully me.

I have a dim view of products this expensive where the only possible difference with far less expensive products is the elusive and completely subjective pursuit of sound quality.  High end audio has become a carnival of many small manufacturers selling tiny quantities of very expensive items.  My gripe is not with this product alone, but with the entire high end scene.  Remember the $3,000 amp which got great reviews and turned out to be made from $150 worth of components?

I’m not sure what he is after. If he never heard one, can’t afford or doesn’t want to buy one then why bother commenting in this thread. 

 

 

You are trying to bully me.

This thread is not about your argument. Hence you're completely off topic, and frankly it is you who is bullying people here. 

 

Do you make the rules here?  You asked for clarification.  You got it.  Now don't tell me I am off topic because you opened the discussion.

Well since I grew up in Brooklyn 50s-70s when Brooklyn wasn’t what it is today, I consider myself fairly “streetwise” and must assume you are here to play games, bust balls and get your rocks off because you can’t be serious with your comments. 

You are clueless.

You cant bully a bully.  Very obstinate, to say the least.  

You are reading stuff that you don't want to see.  That doesn't make me a bully.  A bully makes personal attacks.  All I have is an opinion different from the big spenders.  You are making a personal attack too.
