Funny, but Lukas Fikus actually introduces the "Golden Gate" as something he cooked up at the behest of prospective customers, and at some point he mentions it's his best seller. IMO, he "earned" his following with free advice, and now they are clamoring for expensive stuff from him. Who could say no to this? In this thread, the follow-up questions would be, what are the LF customers listening to and how are they listening to it? Nothing I heard at THE Show especially recommends any of this stuff, really, let alone the crazy-expensive stuff, so I am still trying to round up and connect the disparate bits into a bitstream. In other words, "sounding better" than other DACs only matters to me in the context of program. I have toyed with the idea of getting some headphones, but whenever I try some I am reminded of how weird it is, and at this point the "limits" of headphones do not encourage spending, any more than the limits of streaming audio I have heard so far. For anyone who still hasn't gotten it, the idea of "expensive DACs" is better, richer programing, and they would have no other justification. Of course this is always relative, depending on user expectations, and this is where dialog comes in, to try to get these things in the open.
N-set, what about LFs sound and music choices, and how does this vary from your own choices and expectations?
