Here's a quote from Jim Merod (recording engineer, audiophile reviewer, professor, and Jazz music album producer) for STA-9 and DAC-9 under review.
http://www.blueportjazz.netTHESE TWO UNITS ARE FANTASTIC BARGAINS . . .
sonic over-achievers, the precise sort of audio music enhancements
that the so called "high-end" once promised, seldom delivered, but here
with your committed honesty and technical brilliance allow any audiophile
and/or music lover to own for enduring listening benefit. They are under-priced
in the current price-bloated marketplace that shames 90% of existing audio
companies with NuPrime's commitment to musical glory and financial value.
Few products of any kind in the existing world of audio blather and hoopla
produce such an astonishing price - value ratio ! I recommend any listener,
regardless of ability to spend (squandering money on fancy chassis glitter
of published hype), to consider each of these products not merely as great values
-- the proverbial "bargain" most people hope for and rarely find -- but great delivery
systems for any superior audio system -- JIM MEROD
