    At this point I'd rather see someone review the new soekris dac 1321, 1421, 0r the 1521....than waste anymore time on this dac... the prices of the new soekris are $490 us for an r2r dac which is $200 less....

    This thread has nothing to do with reviewing Soekris DACs. Please don't pollute. If you want to make suggestions for reviews, see the LaY thread instead (after you've read the first few posts!).

    It does in a sense because they're really not getting anywhere with getting another unit of this dac. Also I'm trying to make a point about the cost compared to the new soekris and the engineering difference. But thanks for being the thread policeman.

    Newcomers on SBAF are expected to be more disciplined than what you would see, say, on HF. Ignore this at your own peril.

    In general, SBAF abhors noise, i.e. posts that contribute little of substance or are posted in the obviously wrong places. Indeed for many around here the less you write, the better, unless you have something useful to contribute. If you haven't done so already, see MUST READ FOR NEW MEMBERS.

    I'm not trying to derail the thread but was trying to make a point about the new engineering of the danish soekris dac compared this chinese dac. I can understand up to a point that discussing some other product might be seen as changing the thread but that's not what I'm trying to do...

    you might want to try the number #1 rule yourself...

    You fail to understand or simply can't understand why it was a stupid post so my advice to you is to read the guidelines one more time and stop polluting. If you can't there are other forums that suit your ways.

    There was no point to you reply and perceiving others as "asses" when they were actually pointing you in the right direction just makes it pathetic.

    Taste is a very delicate thing...I've already have earmarked those that know and those that don't here on sbaf. I'm not going to respond to those who dislike my posts as I've gone back and read some of their contributions and I glean nothing from them. I've decided to just follow those posters that I respect their technical expertise and solid Contributions here on sbaf.

    The proper procedure would have been to start a new thread in the advice subforum for the new Soekrus products and provide a link to that new thread from here. This could have been prefaced by what you stated previously about the Soekris R2R being tangentally related to the topic at hand.

    No need to provide unnecessary responses. At any moment there is a choice: more noise or more signal. Funny anecdotes are also acceptable, but you need to be skilled at this last option and know your audience.

    I say this in a logical Mr. Spock kind of manner. Not trying to be a dick and see no need to go into Dick Mode.

    Marvey,

    Thanks for the info...I just found the soekris thread and wasn't aware that they we're attempting to get new units from soekris to test over the past couple of days. Having a bunch of relatively new forum members going out of their way to chastise me for creating a meaningless (In their words) post was just too much for me before my coffee. The good part is that I get to put some members on the ignore list and screen out the unreasonable.
