permanently. I don't want that pos in my audio chain
it's like a demented dac system born in the wrong implementation. maybe it will get over it's insecurity and finally come out as a nos dac. then again you could just get a real philips chip. i guess all the wrongs add up to a giant glob of wrong that some find pleasing. If i could sum up the sound in one word without going into the negatives, it would be "concrete."
maybe if the filby mods are done it might just sound ok.
this fotm is totally unwarranted. the vinyl craze hitting everyone is something else though
