Maybe critical listening skills are bad?
Sit glued to an instrument for 40 years and internalize how something actually sounds, work those strings till your fingers bleed profusely. We shall talk about some ’critical listening skills’ thereafter. Others need not worry too much about ’c... 
The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype
Dac & wire upgrades will mostly be meaningless until you sink some cash into treatments that actually work. If you room doesn't start to look like some of these examples ...just forget it, i.e. if you are sitting in the living room and subjec... 
Comparing speakers at home questions
+1   I think that you are not doing a science experiment. Play one speaker for a couple of days, see how much you ENJOY listening to them, and of course how much fatigue you suffer. Then switch. Do the same.  
Considering the BMR Philharmonic Monitor speakers
Huh? Looks kinda similar to the wharfedale Evo 4.2. Phillyharmonica garage guy might have copied some of wharfedale/Peter Comeau’s stuff whilst busy, not innovating anything in his garage,. Here’s a pair of the wharfedales for only 1000 bucks/pa...

The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype
@jasonbourne71 , There’s a bit more nuance to a dac than distortion, sinad, transparency whatever. They can quite significantly change a soundfield, spatial cues, perceivable detail with dsp tricks (fpga, etc). Get a simple Creative soundcard and... 
Svs sb17-ultra for music
@phusis , I need to build one of the horns, maybe something along these lines and try to get lower extension https://www.pioneerproaudio.com/en/products/xy-series/xy-218hs On a different note, the tekton definitely gets under 20 (not some exagge... 
Svs sb17-ultra for music
(Facepalm), if a guy’s ’plugging ports’, he probably shouldn’t even get a jbl 4367 and stick with some ls50 or similar matchbox speaker (guessing that’s how you roll). Any speaker with low enough bass extension, ’full range’ will cause standing w... 
What should I upgrade next in my system?
Apple has the largest catalog of atmos and spatial mixes. None of it will be getting to you through a hifirose. You are trying to mix stereo equipment with multichannel equipment...it doesn’t quite work that way. Choice of gear for moving up the ... 
Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days?
A lotta bullsh here and in the previous post, are you recruiting chat gpt for the word salad as well?....there’s no frequency domain analyses, none, happening in human perception/auditory/cns. Some crappy design/analysis tool never fit in your ea... 
My Brief Impressions of FiiO’s New K11 R2R DAC & Headphone Amplifier
Sounds like DCS robbed ya. I can't believe how incredibly good the DAC is! I wanted something small and convenientfor my bedroom headphone system. I was blown away by what I was hearing. I was so impressed I decided to compare the K11 dac to my ... 
My Denafrips Aries 15th has too much mid -bass, anybody else??
Sony’s hifi division makes very high quality devices. You were probably spoilt by the HAP-Z1ES. Return the dinner frips and be happy with the Sony. Audiophiles will only feel "elusive" if some guy builds crap for them working out of his garage.... 
I Was A Skeptic Now I'm Not So Sure
The highest quality ethernet cable should be the one terminating at the streaming device.  
What should I upgrade next in my system?
@rickguild No, your Anthem prepro is the heart of your multichannel system and shouldn’t be going anywhere. These are 2 channel guys on this forum, who are probably quite confused about your rig. A higher quality streamer transport into your Ant... 
Piano is just 300 years old? There's more.
Veena, a Indian stringed instrument has ~4000 years of documented history. , i.e fairly complex build, metallurgy required. "Simpler" wind instruments go ways back... For example, the didgeridoo (indigenous instrument of Terra Australis) goes bac...
