Do hi-end DACs offer true value or diminishing return...
These two hi-fedelity recordings posted on Youtube allow one to audition the state-of-the-art, highly raved R2R DACs with values ranging from $850 all the way to $6,500. Please use headphone or, play back to your stereo system if you think your system is revealing enough. The question to ask to yourself is that the true hi-end (w/ high price tag) gears offer you true values or just a diminishing-return foolproof. In my system, I do hear the differences but, to me, the differences might not be that significant to justify the luxious spending. Maybe my system is not revealing enough. Maybe the recording quality through the on-line broadcasting degrades. How about you? Do you hear major differences?
Terminator Plus ($6.5k), Venus II ($3k)
Terminator $4.5k, Ares II ($850)

@jasonbourne52 dude:
Please let me know how you picked your speakers. Did you line up a few pairs in your house and quickly did some blind testing?
Do you have speakers?

Well, it’s all up to you. If you are struggling to find money to buy a decent DAC, or any kind of audio equipment, then you will surely find all kind of reasons in the Internet not to buy one. Then you (plural) you will be a specialist in posting in all audio forums why those are snake oil. That’s how it works. I have seen it all over again and again.
Including making decisions based on a YouTube video 😂
Bottom line: take care of basic needs first, food to the table, family, housing, kids’ college, and so on. Audio is a hobby. Secondary to all in the grand scheme of things. Discretionary |
😂😂😂. How can one ever having a music system possibly take you seriously Jason Bourne???
Why not two bucks? You have been scammed !!! Gullible fool (etc.). Sound card anyway. How much are they anyways? Like $2 (two dollars Canadian or 200 cents) Do you have a computer machine? Hook it up to your amp and boom! DAC!
