How easily can you distinguish between different DACs?
When I read reviews or watch them on YouTube the reviewers talk about the vast differences between various DACs. I haven't compared too many, but found the differences pretty subtle, at best.
Which got me into thinking: Is my hearing ability really that bad?
Do you notice the differences as easily as folks make out?
Well this appears to be going well? Is the OP satisfied yet? Money Magnitude Margin Synergy PRAT Soundstage Timbre and tonality. Significance Value Judgement, mine or yours? Cost Logistical challenges Connectivity Implementation Design Materials Parts Components Room Nah there’s more Lots more, but hopefully, you get the idea.

@duckworp - Thanks for the streamer breakdown, now again what were the DACs? |
Reminds me of a story. My wife was rummaging around and found a bottle of wine. Opened it and I suppose enjoyed it. I noticed it on the counter and let her know this was a grand reserve 20 year old Rioja. 50 bucks a bottle. After that she just went on and on about how delicious it was and how much she enjoyed it. I don’t deny it was good but if she didn’t know would it have been all that memorable? Having heard lots of systems, most sound mediocre to me. If one change or another makes it sound less mediocre, so what? I think the room, the speaker placement changes everything, so why leave that in place and mess with one part? |
