Hello peeps,
I notice there is a hell of a lot of recommending one bit of DAC gear over another based on graphs and scientific measurements.
I am no expert at all on this, but surely how it actually sounds, what the DAC Chip DOES with the digital information, how it turns it into analogue is more than simply the lowest distortion, noise, best this or that? I would have thought that the manner inwhich the information is INTERPRETED and converted is all important.
I know the CD player I am busy selling has some kind of valve-like output stage (Musical Fidelity A5) - surely it is things like this which make the sound more musical, rather than things that can be shown on a graph?
I'm interested in hearing your views on this! Thanks,
Mark.
