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.

Mostly these kinds of threads tell me more about what wealthy hobbyists think about their money than what they think about equipment.

Many hate when i spoke of the importance of acoustics over any dac  or gear upgrade at any price...

There must be a kernel of truth in your post....

If you spent less than$1000 on your entire system, you cannot tell the difference between a $200 DAC and a better, more expensive DAC.
