DAC’s

In my opinion, you could get a Chord Qutest for about 2k, which is one of the best DACs around, and save about 5k.

Believe me, you will never hear the difference, especially not worth a price differential of 5k, even if you have better hearing than the creature in the movie "A Quiet Place".

You forgot to mention that I was actually using aptX HD bluetooth and am now using LDAC.

At least, please quote me correctly next time :-)

@jerrybj

Interesting that you have to get personal and use language close to profanity.

I guess you cannot argue in an adult way. Maybe I touched a nerve and deep down you agree but cannot accept that your hearing is not as perfect as you would like it to be.

The fact that most people may not agree with me does not refrain me from writing what I believe. Maybe you like going with the flow and are afraid to write unpopular opinions but I am not.

Cheers.

Good to know you like the Bricasti. However, it seems way out of my budge at about between $5k - 7k from what I have seen online.

Is the sound quality differential really worth the extra $3-5k ?

That is where I am having difficulty in justifying it. Plus.. I agree my older ears are probably not worth anything more than the $2k I was prepared to spend for the Qutest.
