Products YOU would like to see reviewed

The mojo behind Affordable Audio is about as simplistic as one could get; bringing to light products of all different back-rounds both new and old. So long as a product has some sort of establishment and is priced within reach of most consumers - it is prime time material for this E-zene. Obviously, there are hundreds... quite possibly even thousands of options to select from. The purpose of this thread is to gather an idea of what YOU want. What interests you? What is Affordable doing right? What would you like to see more of? What do you feel is missing? What kind of products would you like to see covered in the future? This input will be used to take something great and make it even better..! I look forward to your suggestions!

Firewire/USB DACs?

A6M-ZERO,

1. Firewire/USB DACs as JohnR requests
2. AVA's DACs
3. Computer HDDs as media drives.

I enjoy your e-zine very much! Keep up the good work.

Gentlemen,

Thanks for taking the time to respond. This is great stuff!

I expected to see a variation of specific name-brand product recommendations; yet I must concede to being a bit surprised at the volume of you that desire to read more DAC reviews / comparisons. This is a great thing, and is part of why this thread was born in the first place. This is an avenue I will investigate in the near future. For any manufactorers that happen to be reading this thread - if you have a sample you would not mind submitting in for evaluation - send myself or Mark (handle; affordableaudio) a PM and lets work on making it happen!

Keep those responses pouring in fellas !!!!!

I can tell everyone that a USB DAC is currently being reviewed.

Please keep up the great suggestions.
