286.0. "Deltec PDM II DAC " by HKGACT::CHAKLEE (Easy Going) Tue Jul 02 1991 06:11

I think this is the best DAC I've heard so far. It is Deltec's newest DAC using
Philips' newest chip DAC-7. However, the price is also beautiful -- STD1995 or
HKD 20000+. 

The question is they just introduced PDM I 7350 about 6 months ago. How long 
will this PDM II be last? Another 6 months?

Any comment, folks? About the quality of PDM II.

Any comment about the fast going technology?

    There is nothing wrong with technology moving fast. The problem comes
    when manufacturers jump on the latest bandwagon, then promote the new
    product by implying what they sold last week is old. I'm not sure
    Deltec are specifically guilty of this, though.
    
    The new digital audio technology must be a marketing man's dream.
    Whoever said that CD players meant the end of perpetual front-end
    upgrading were obviously kidding themselves.
