When is the last time any DAC won a What HIFI 5 Star? I guess I shall have to buy the magazine and frame that page.
I better get myself a designer suit for the award presentation

Congratulations. It'll be interesting to see what the effect of that is. Once upon a time it was a powerful incentive for potential customers, not sure its quite as influential now but have fun dealing with the response!

Hi Stan,
Well done. I hope it results in a little prosperity. Of course it does mean some of us will have to own up to using WHF 5 star kit
Best wishes,
Greg
Quoting from another Stanley: 'I certainly will.'
A massive thanks to all you guys, both fanboys and naysayers, who have spurned me on to keep refining the original unit so that I could capture a wider user base. I have been reluctant to develop a wider range of products with the same 'more bangs for your bucks' principle. Without any sort of street cred it is a hard job shifting boxes.
No worries, Stan. It's always nice to see the 'little guy' being successful. Long may it continue!
You know you've got a 'safe house' here on AOS anytime to promote your products
Marco.
