I know that Doc is always telling me that Head-fi don't tell it like it is,but i have just been idly looking at some usb dac's to replace my e-dac,which,by the way is still working fine,but you all know how it is,the grass might just be greener etc.
So i poked AudioQuest Dragonfly into google and looking at the results i got the impression that what hi fi and head-fi were listening to different things.
How on earth can What hi fi say::Awesome dynamics,Aggressive pricing,Superbly clear and detailed sound.When Head-fi says from reviews that people that have bought them:::Expensive,The difference in sound after fitting is hardly noticeable,and the old faithful,does not live up to the hype.
Does What Hi Fi fulfill a function anymore,and does anyone believe them ,if so why?????? Rant over...
What HI FI ? What a load of Bollocks.

Obviously they refused to give any of the head-fi reviewers free samples.

Funnily enough,the reviewer who got the free sample does try very hard to say it is nearly ok,and that you should check it out...

Ive kind of given up with head-fi.
Despite trying numerous times to upload a pic of my NVA AP10h JS three boxer, the bastards just wont let me.
And the mods wont even answer my pms on the subject.....
Probably dont want a real gem pissing all over the paying hype merchants tat.
