Always amazed me but why are CD players & DACs et al, always hyped up as being the next best thing ?
Why are amps & speakers not hyped in the same fashion ?
Is it just the idea of "technology" that appeals to audiophiles or are these new kids on the block really better than the competition, for a feel of the kit I am referring too :
Think : Nos DACs, Chord 64s, Nuvista CDPs, Minimax CDPs etc etc the list is endless ... it never seems to end, I see there is a thread here where the Minimax is being lauded and laid into in equal measure.
Anyway your views why CD replay is hyped so much month after month comapred to previous kit is welcome, are these big differences dreamt up ?
