DAC 'Scam' Vid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Sg1nYLmLCw

The TL:DW is that any well made Dac should not be more than $200 and anything above that doesn't sound any better since they all use similar cheap chips to do the D/A conversion. Anything above $200 for a DAC is basically snake oil and theres no improvement in sonics.

Appreciate your insights.

Why not use your ears and decide for yourself?

I went from a $15K DAC to a $2800 DAC and that was a huge conic improvement. I am trying to buy the same $2800 DAC for another system.

The maxim: "Spending more will not guarantee satisfaction" is true. I just discovered its veracity when I auditioned an 8.5K DAC and to my surprise, preferred the onboard DAC in my Hegel integrated.
