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?

Did not bother to view the video. 
 

My journey started with my iPhone hooked up through an adapter to a Pass Labs Aleph P. I found it almost unsuitable for even background music. When I went to a Devialet 200 set up with its built-in DAC, I could now listen to digital for background music. The next step was to the built-in DAC in a Vinnie Rossi L2S preamp which enabled me to actually listen to digital and enjoy it. My current DAC has virtually become a replacement for my analog system since the sound quality is so good and the convenience is no contest.


As some people have mentioned but I would like to emphasize, the analog portion of the digital-to-analog-converter is extraordinarily important.
