I stunbled upon this video this morning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7NxRFT6FiI In a nutshell, dCS is threatening to sue a reviewer upon false statements on its product. Among which are: the number of filters, the type of DAC, the default upsampling mode after reset (!), and last but not least…

I think we need to close out some of these threads with links to two posts First David Steven’s latest response and apology . And Second a reminder https://dcs.community/faq posted by James and others. Time to move forward, learn, grow and heal

There is now a message on the forum from David Steven on this matter. As I thought there is more to the story and nuance is a good thing. Hopefully the pitchforks and indignation can be stored away.

This is very unfortunate indeed, first that this has been publically issued by one of the party, and second that the other party bound one request (a loan for reviewing the Lina DAC) with another one (correcting inacuracies of an outdated review). This should have been independant, and having one co…

It seems there has been ample opportunity to resolve any issues in a friendly way. Apologies were made. One can’t help but wonder why Golden Sound chooses to publicly make these kind of statements and present a selectively quoted version of events. With most happenings it is prudent to ask oneself, …

I suspect that most of these people would definitively not want to afford a dCS product anyway! dCS chose to build state-of-the art DACs that are not for everyone’s purse, or, not everyone is insane enough to break the piggy bank for a dCS product (except guys like me:)

Why? It gets click and attention. Most people had never heard of Cameron before this. I don’t know how it gets resolved, but I think dCS’ response today is everything I need to close the issue for me and to stop commenting further.

Damage has been done, and there is no other statement that dCS can do to calm things down, I agree. Can anything else be done? Maybe, it is not my call anyway. I just want to chill out and listen to some good, smooth, not too smooth music… :slight_smile:

Why would anyone pay attention to any online review of a product? Making a purchasing decision based on what someone else thinks about a product is nuts and not a way I would waste my time.

Goldensound has reponsed to dcs [image] dCS Response and Story HEADPHONE Community Meta For this who did not see, this was posted on The HEADPHONE Show yesterday. This video was made in relation to an ongoing situation regardi…

The very moment when the new business is revealed, and there is a competing DAC on the table (yes, because those people keep their fans happy by telling them that a 3K dac is all you want, and those who pay more than that are fools), the show is over. I think this young man is really passionate wit…

What the heck? Is dCS closing down for one negative review?
