DAC 'Scam' Vid

Extremely well said guys. The concept of the pre-pre amp and the importance of the analog stage.. also what about R2R dacs... the chip does it all argument falls apart there.

My experience is that dacs can make a big difference sonically and I could easily hear differences in many of the dacs I had. Right now my ANK 4.1x has a very distinct sound relative to my denafrips terminator or PS DS mk1.

Its weird to me how you could make such a big mistake by simplifying everything to 'a chip is a chip'. When I posted about this on head-fi surprisingly many people were actually agreeing with the guy in the video and it left me scratching my head.

I can hear differences between all the dac i bought... just a few...

But i was able to tune my room by hear adjusting like a piano tuner 100 resonators with time...

Once this is said...

 The difference between dac pale compared to differences between acoustically  uncontrolled and controlled  room ...

And i must add that in many "living room "  the differences between dac will be not audible by most ...

My response in the comments just now: "idk if a 20+ year veteran mastering engineer is the best option to critique DACs lol. You can barely hear your wife and kids from blown out hearing. This is like an old hooker telling two virgins what will or won't be enjoyable on the 1st night of their honeymoon lol."

To the OP.

I am glad you got some kind of confirmation here and I would agree with most statements about differences in sound in DACS.

To texasblues1959

I don’t think you are the Mayor of Simpleton but if you are from Texas I have a few questions for you.

Are the generalizations or stereotypical statements about Texas true or false?

"Texans only wear cowboy hats and ride horses everywhere"

"Texans only listen to two types of music- Country and Western "

"Football is the most important thing to a Texan"

"All Texans drive trucks, wear boots and kill snakes in their back yard to eat for dinner"

I ask this because I think stereotype comments and generalizations are funny and repeated by people mostly to entertain themselves and to get a laugh. Should I think these things are true about Texans?

@smodtactical 

If you believe that video, then why are you even here?
