The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?

You're operating under the mistaken assumption that I'm somehow obligated to talk to you, even when you butt in, looking for ways to argue with me. 

Silly.

mahgister, the world was a better place when you were arguing with highfijack.

mahgister....what a lame attempt to clean up your mess.

Wow mahgister, what part of 

Then you obviously don't understand the concept of confirmation bias, nor I suspect cognitive dissonance either.

don't you seem to comprehend as insulting? (I'll make it easy for you...it's the part of the sentence after the comma).

Now didn't I already point out that you're taking almost every opportunity to jump on my posts to vain attempts to get at me and that it's making you look foolish?

Gee mahgister.......if you cared to actually read what he wrote, you'd find it very insulting in it's insinuation. I used humor to deflect.

What you should do is stop jumping at every chance to try to get back at me, which makes it clear what your motives are.

For all the pontification you do about being above it all and being kind, you don't practice it so much. Is that not a contradiction?

I prefer to not let myself be influenced by others confirmation and cognitive biases.

I don't consider gear a hobby. I consider achieving the best sound at an acceptable cost/benefit ratio a hobby. The gear itself is meaningless to me. In fact, the less gear, the better. My main source currently is Amazon Music HD via an Echo wirelessly straight into a preamp, so no CDs, LPs or hardware streamers.

Knowing how to read graphs, and understanding through measurements what is audible to the human ear and what is not allows me to "filter" gear before wasting my time with it. I don't consider it time well-spent to listen to something that measurements show obviously won't sound any different to my human ears.

The most straight out admission of confirmation bias I've yet read.

Yes, it is now a proven scientific fact, all DACs are exactly the same.

Did this turn into open mike night at the Comedy Club?

Isn’t your “cousin brother” also your cousin? Maybe your family tree differs?

Do you mean something like this:

Look ma (sis?), no branches.

Are your brothers cousins eyes really close together or really far apart?
