Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"
As humans we are organic/analogue - digital is not that. I just accept the advantages of each format although I was in the larger group that preferred vinyl.Are you aware of any DACs that output "digital". Last time I checked they all outputted ... 
Class D
The ’switching noise’ of any class D amplifier is a sine wave at the switching frequency. If the filter is properly designed, the sine wave is quite small and low power- it has to be so because the amplifier can’t interfere with other services,...

Point of higher priced streamer?
jc51373343 posts01-12-2021 7:33pmI didn't feel like reading through the volleyball match of one-sided opinions on this entire thread, so maybe you mentioned it. What DAC do you have? I mean, I'd say yeah it won't make a huge impact on a lower ... 
Schiit - shipments stopped?
Malaysia and Phillipines are very common packaging locations for ICs. They are experiencing big outbreaks and this has put a severe shortage on the semiconductor industry as has issues throughout the supply chain. 
Class D
No magic in Class D?  Pishaw!   I would argue there is even more magic possible.
