Ok, that makes perfect sense, not!
What makes you so sure that the DAC's introduced in 2016 will be automatically superior to all of the DAC's introduced in 2015...or for that matter prior years. Have you actually heard the MSB Select DAC, the new DCS DAC's? Since I have heard the MSB, which is touted as being among the best available....maybe even the best, I can tell you it does not approach the sound of average vinyl, never mind great vinyl. There is still a 'digital sheen' ( What's that???...well if you have actually listened to great vinyl or tape and done a comparison, you would immediately know of what I talk), that is evident with the best DAC's I have heard, including the MSB and the Berkeley Reference....
Ed Meitner is bringing out a new DAC, I will be listening to this in the next few weeks, will it be even close to the best vinyl, we shall see. ( Yes, I am open to the possibility, BUT like I said, compared to tape and the best vinyl, it has a lot of ground to cover).....All, IMHO.
