Difference Between DAC Types
Thanks for the recent input folks. Very helpful. So it seems at least with some the idea of differences has been validated.

@soix thanks for your input@mrdon looking forward to your impressions, perhaps how it stacks up against a Delta-Sigma unit@lukaske server based system, so no CD player@millercarbon your ignorance is excused, please don't post here again 
Difference Between DAC Types
@mzkmxcv A llot of reviewers and users have made inferences that support what I’m saying. So still waiting. 
I picked up a ROKU, I am wanting to cut the Cable TV cord.
Old post but here’s where I’m at on cordcutting. Seven years ago got tired of paying Comcast rip off cable rates. Dumped cable but still needed the internet. Switched to Rokus and Amazon Prime but the experience was not the same. Over time added a... 
Any PS Audio P5 users out there?
I replaced my Blue Circle device with a new P5. Nope. P5 less natural and organic sounding. Put the Blue Circle back in, happy again. Others will likely have different experiences.

Elizabeth, thanks for the rant, hope it worked for you. (Kidding, appreciate your input). I agree it’s a personal choice. And every piece of equipment matters, true.I’m hoping someone that’s very familiar with the sound qualities of each type of D...

HP or Dell for computer listening ?
Well that’s what Jplay said 8 years ago, not Darko. It can shut down some processes, just like Audiophile Optimizer does, and does have some positive effects, but does not eliminate jitter. Its effects are related to the OS, not the hardware, wher...

Does this DAC (and this type of DAC) lend itself more to the human voice and unamplified instruments than, say, amplified instruments? So classical, jazz, maybe folk, as opposed to pop or rock. Or does it all work? Have still never heard an R2R DA... 
Amps suggestions for ATC scm 40 mk2
I tried Nords with my ATCs and quickly sold them. Not a good match. The ATCs are too revealing of the Nord’s shortcomings. 
HP or Dell for computer listening ?
Either of those computer brands would work, shouldn't be any difference in this application. 
Decisions on standmounts: ATC, Dynaudio, ProAc, Sonus Faber
I have  had ATC SCM 19v2 for a couple years now and see no need to ever purchase another pairt of speakers.They're in a different league than the other speakers you mention. 
The JC Whitney syndrome
I'd rather not have a stranger tell me how to improve my system based on some vague principles he came up with. But thanks. Anyway, I disagree. 
HP or Dell for computer listening ?
There will be no difference most likely. Using an off the shelf PC for music usually isn’t recommended because of the large amount of noise, electrical and otherwise, that can effect sound quality. But if you’re determined to buy a sub-$1000 PC, w...
