The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype


Over many decades I have owned my share of multi-thousand dollar dacs.My current is my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5, which I have owned for ~ 4 years. I have made many changes to my system, including cables and it has shined a light on every one, so I tend to agree with the YTV . Your thoughts?

another bull video

 

his whole argument is based on the chip cost  and thats it

a dacs sound quality is based on:

decoding chip types and quantity some dacs use multiple processing chips with summed outputs 

input board and input chips

clock board and chips 

any custom processing and software

analog amplification board this can cost hundreds of dollars 

power supply and case 

so a high end dac can cost way more then this genius surmises
