Gerrardasnails,
I don't think Chebby has any issue with the dacmagic, it's just that he likes his Beresford and find its an excellent product as I do my v-dac, and is keen to extoll its virtues.
There's nothing wrong in saying what you like about a product, whether it coincides with reviews and views in whatever magazine or not. And if some of us happen to choose a product that's not as popular as something else (though if you check both the beresford and v-dac on google you'll find lots of opinions that indicate neither are that), why should it upset you so much? This is a forum, and everyone has an equal right to express their opinion.
I think this should be left now, especially since, as Chebby noted and I missed, the OP already has a dacmagic.
I'm not upset in the slightest. I find it funny when people make statements like you did, fail to back them up properly when challenged and then say things should be dropped.
