"This is not one of those hi-fi sources to snuggle up to, in front of an open fire and a bottle of Port. I'd liken it more to a strong lager with a twist of line - its crisp, dry, refreshing sort of listen with lots of things to tingle the taste buds."

"Now Mytek designer Michal Jurewicz presents a scaled-down version of it. Again named after an iconic part of his hometown of New York City, it is the Liberty DAC; yes, after that statue."

"What price would you pay to be free from digital-file type constraint? $2,000? $5,000? $10,000? How about $995 USD?
