I'm going to wait for measurements from some charlatan on the Internet who tells me what to buy because the two measuring devices on the sides of my head aren't functioning properly.

Hyp0xiaIf you enjoy them, that is all that matters, but calling names does not help. I have something that didn't measure up very well, the TEAC 503, but still love how it sounds, and not gonna call someone names over it. I enjoy reading Head Fi and ASR, but not the fanboys mouth foaming rants,on either side to be honest.

FrogmeatOh, I was agitated by the rise of "waiting for measurements from amirm" long before the recent controversy. Hive mind mentalities always bother me, which is why I find it so frustrating that no one could have cared less about RME and Topping at the beginning of this year and now everyone and their mother wants or has a DAC from one of these companies based on some graphs. It's not the measurements that bother me so much as the rabid cult following and the sucking of all the joy out of what can be a fun hobby.

Hyp0xiaWell, being I was the first to join this drop , I usually don't wait for the measurements, but I will read his posts and use them, along with other articles and such, to decide if something might be worth plopping down my cash. I bought the SU-8 mostly on my past experience with the M8 and Sanskrit Pro DACs, and with others experience with them, and I have so far been happy with it, but it's only been a day. I am glad that these low cost Chinese companies are being brought to light, like Topping, because their D10 is one hell of a bargain when purchased on Massdrop at $74.99 for a DAC that sounds just about as good as any other I have owned so far. My problem is I just don't know when to say no to the next new thing, lol.
