Just as well they have a loan scheme. Just had a look at their blog describing the mega buck system they demonstrate the Mscaler on in store. The maximum sample rate of the streamer is less than half of what the Mscaler delivers. :lol:

A retailer is only interested in product he can slurp on, it is not in his interest to sell you VFM products.

In the good old days even in the Linn / Naim slurp there were always value for money products in retailers, now they are only on line or some from Richer Sounds.

They seem to be in a conundrum as they dont seem to stock stand alone streamers and the Mscaler will only work to its full potential
with a small number of Chord DACs. :lol:

Haven't you seen the prog on C4? :lol:

Well think off it applied to hi-fi rather than cake.
