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?

I wish hifi was black and white, but never will be. So no. Dac matters and it sounds different depending on its connectivity, bit stream, power qualities, mechanical dampping, etc

@ 95 db at least, record it and post a clip...would be curious to see how it sounds on the world’s best rig...thanks in advance.

I improved "Ain’t talkin Bout Love" from my last post. Alex/Wavetouch audio

@mihorn on my phone speakers the iTunes version of Van Halen sounds considerably better, fwiw.

I guess you heard the original music. My video is live recording from my speakers (reproduced).

There are few different versions of same music such as the original and remastered, etc.
