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?

There was this discussion in the late 1970's early 80's about whether interconnects could sound different. It was really obvious they did back then... fifty years ago.

The idea that the DAC sound is the primary determinant of the sound quality in anything but the very cheapest of DACs is absolutely ridiculous. Absolutely wrong.
