Let it be said: Digital audio did slay the audiophile. I am always amazed after all these years just how much the high end audio world still clings to the old analog audio beliefs and tries oh so hard to bring those analog beliefs into the world of digital audio.
While I have no doubt that Bryston amps are very worthwhile pieces of equipment, their digital audio players are, simply put, over priced pieces of audio jewelry. A $200 audio sound card in a fancy case is still a $200 sound card. There is no magic involved other than the magic of getting some fool to pay $2000 for a $200 sound card. Now that is the kind of magic that we can all be a little jealous of.
