Trolling

[Gurux]

Not sure I've ever got my head around buying a product based on non-existent written promises of how that product will/might/could develop. I'm considering the Naim to DVLA leap bug my sole considerations are how it sounds now; the reduced box count and the existence of digital inputs to future proof to some extent. Have never found a product that is actually future proofed or endlessly upgradeable. Practically and logically it's impossible so why anyone would buy into it I have no idea. Basing purchase decisions based on discussions in forums - hmm.

Hi Mike,

I don't know about you but I put a lot more faith in the people on this forum than on what reviewers say. There are some genuine complainers and genuine happy chaps so you get a bit of both. the trick is to read between the lines.

Enjoy the chat room!

Home dem is the only way to make a decision. I've a slightly different take on reviewers and forums. I think both reflect all human life; our different preferences and biases; our different ears. It suits some mags to bash forums and it suits some forums to bash mags. Doesn't mean either is better than the other and I'm not a fan of the smugness which often comes with the bashing.

That said, it's still beyond me why the OP made a purchase decision based on speculation.

Because it made sense. Because all this was very likely doable with the current hardware. It's only politics, marketing decisions and probably license fees that held back the product.

And it's kind of disappointing to see that most of the functionality I've been waiting for is now being offered in an entry level product while the D line hasn't seen any meaningful update in a while.
