Peter...
Please do not exclude Anthony from any future upgrades...he has been a long time supporter of yours & just because he understood the point I was trying to make should not eliminate him from pursuing upgrades to his NOS 1.
There was no anger or angst in my comments whatsoever...there was certainly frustration with having to send a DAC back for an upgrade that will cost LESS than the combined freight cost of the DAC when (in my opinion...there should be no need to do so)...
Please explain to me why you would not sell the parts for the upgrade PLUS a written installation procedure for the same cost...you make more money (no labor costs for the work on my DAC)...I save money but not having to incur the freight cost both ways plus pay a stupid tax (because you are too lazy to claim it back)...everybody is happy...
Another benefit is no further damage to my DAC by freight companies...if you complete a SWAT or cost/benefit analysis on my suggestion/s...it is by far the best option.
If its good enough for PS Audio & a host of other companies that do offer upgrades &/or repairs by sending parts for local repairs/upgrades I fail to understand what makes your company so different...
Thanks
Rob
