If a market of perhaps 10 cables a year, shared between KBL, Lampizator and Masterbuilt will be attractive for the latter, they probably will jump on it.

There is no marketing goo, and the forum is a wild space for open discussion and not a place where you expect me to give a solid concrete data and reasoning . The website is for that as well as my Facebook. Ask and thou shall receive.
What is being sold? Horizon DAC is being sold.
Why 360 name? Because I thought Horizon 2 is boring and because horizon by geographical definition is 360.
Why is it being sold? Because we make it and people want it. The usual reason things are sold.
Is it a "giant murky stream..." ? I really dont know, I guess 15 guys from around the world talking about the new variant of a DAC are a "giant stream" thats for you to decide.
Have a great week.
Ok so there is a market opportunity. (Reminds me of Jim Carrey in dumb and dumber when he is told there is a one in a million chance, he is optimistic because there is a chance. )
Do inform us please or point us in the direction of a more substantial write up outlining the technical advancements and the design improvements behind Horizon 360 when you have it. Personally, I like learning and reading and trying to make informed decisions on hi fi purchases, as idealistic as that may sound.
Specifically, and for the purpose of this discussion I am not very interested in the Taiko products and would love to know independently of that product why I should consider Horizon 360 over my Horizon.
I made it as specific as I possibly can: the new horizon has new trio of chips, new firmware, new ground scheme, new power supplies, new transformers, new PCB layout with multilayer construction (yes for 15 years from day 1 we made our own boards - self designed and self made) and new voltage regulation and filtration, faster DSD, faster maximum PCM, 2 years of everyday listening, parts selection, fine tuning - all resulting in an audibly better sound. To proove my point there is the review from Marty - if this isnt sufficient then a visit to one of our many shows and a session in our room or a session at home agreed with our dealer will do the trick. If you are still sceptical I suggest to wait untill dust settles.
that might be proprietary i suspect but i think the reason for the upgrade is probably the same reason why we went from a pacific to a horizon when Luksz said it was better ? so far what has been said over the last few years haven't been far from the truth and i think there is trust in a way
There isnt really another tube dac out there with the capabilities of what a horizon is with the rolling opportunities . . And wit hthe 360 i think thats going to stick for a while - there isnt a new release of the dac chipset here i imagine from what is being used now. dac chips have long refresh cyclesSimilar threads
