Yes, I was giving Lexicon the benefit of the doubt. But after realizing that they don't even use the SE version of the Oppo, I am no longer in the mood to argue on their behalf.
The broader issue I was speaking to is that we pay for more than just hardware but the hours of testing different parts--what Kevin Hayes of VAC calls voicing. You really can't put a price on that, and it's what I appreciate most about the design of my components. But that's probably why I ended up with VAC amplification and the Oppo SE instead of Lexicon products.
