Lots of lies:
- "The power supply costs $7". Our price is over $20:

- "Made in China". The DSP module is made in Merrimack, NH, USA. That's why the fan assemblies ship separate. They are attached to the DSP module here and the module installed in the chassis.
- "Cheap Aluminum Cased Capacitors". He even states "105 degrees". 105 degree capacitors are the expensive ones. Most products use 85 degree capacitors.
- "They're not the high performance DACs you can get from Cirrus". Yes the are. The CS4385 is Cirrus' highest performance multi-channel DAC. Likewise the ADC is Cirrus' highest performance multi-channel ADC.
- Fractal Audio premises. The highlighted area is a landscaping company: The Greenskeeper. Fractal Audio owns 22.5% of the space at 4 Wilder Drive, an office and a warehouse.
I got to about 45 minutes and got bored with the biased agenda. He's much smarter than you though because he can read the first page of a datasheet.
