Yep!
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
@crymeanaudioriver @amir_asr You are sitting there worrying if this or that other useless tweak like a cable makes a sonic difference.
I don’t worry about my equipment unless it fails. I never worry about tweaks or cables. The last time I had to choose a cable was after I purchased my first DAC and transport in 2019. I auditioned six and chose one, the Synergistic Research Atmosphere X Euphoria. Why would someone with as fulfilling a life as me worry about cables or tweaks and it is in YOUR mind that they are USELESS.
@prof "would it be safe to say you are not an electrical designer or electrical engineer? If so, under what authority do you make the following comment" - concerning creating a high end DAC out of a mediocre DAC.
Well, I have such a DAC, built by a manufacturer of equipment and cables for his and my use. It beat out a $9,000 COS Engineering D1v and $5,000 D2v by a longshot. It is comparable to an $23,000 Meridian Ultradac. Because I tried all the latter three in comparison I say this with some authority, the authority of a recording engineer (me), a manufacturer (friend) and many audiophiles who have heard the same and came to the same conclusion.
Another DAC with excellent design engineer and inferior execution is the Emotiva XDA-2. No new audio board but 7! audiophile quality regulators instead of the computer grade junk inside, similar high end power and filter caps, resistors, etc. to make this into a high end DAC on the very cheap ($400 new plus about the same in added parts).
@russ69 We must be neighbors. I frequented Woodland Hills Audio Center back in the 70s and 80s. I heard several of Arnie’s speakers including a the large Infinity speakers in a home.

@djones51 so you only needed a streamer but bought a $10k DAC. So you are not real smart or not well informed. Topping vs 680 LOL. ASR pinhead. |
@crymeanaudioriver just go. Dancing on the head of a pin!
crymeanaudioriver101 posts @tammyholt , someone seems to just want to stir things up. |
@noske You should read the terms and conditions for this site. It is a private enterprise and they owe you or me zero explanation for their actions. if this bothers you then move on back to ASR where they do the same thing.

I guess so @noske, I never go on The Face Book or any of the rubbish sites listed above. No interest, do not care and I am an independent thinker and do not need influencers or Amir to make a decision. It was his minions that got the other posts shut down. |
@djones51 your dealer sucked and clearly you did not communicate your needs to them. I will leave you with that or did Amir tell you what to buy? |
Guess so @prof if junk from china is your thing. |
@noske why is full of poop? Because he disagrees with your religion err cult. |
Bye Bye @cindyment @oddioboy you troll. |
