While Darko's "short films" are well produced, when it comes to an objective review of audio equipment he's not someone I'd ever follow advice from.
I lost all confidence in him (not that I had much to begin with) when he stated that a Chromecast Audio's digital output sounded "thin" in comparison to that of many other streamers digital outputs when connected to the same DAC.
Unless the CCA's digital implementation is in error (it's not) or his other network players were (possible but unlikely) then his expectations took over - Many audiophiles probably wouldn't believe that a cheap looking, plastic puck would sound good compared to a blinged out, shiny, metal box with nice knobs and a colorful display. However, if he's not wise enough to put his subjective biases aside, then I've no time for him.
