| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @partslinger you’re welcome and good luck! | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @partslinger I have both a Dragonfly Black (V1.2) and a Red, and I have tried both with and without an AudioQuest Jitterbug. I have compared them to both Chord QuteHD and Chord Mojo2 DACs. I used these with headphones and in a near field 2.1 deskt... | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @deep_333 now there’s a conversation starter. | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @mapman lol - see what you started? @chervokas excellent post(s). While I think you went quite far in explaining how different digital filters can be perceived and appreciated differently by different listeners, I am not sure you exactly answere... | |

| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @mikhailark I don’t disagree with you about the importance of the “analog part” or the power supply(ies). The question I have is this: assuming a modern high end DAC with sophisticated power supply and presumably much higher quality “analog parts”... | |

| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. One of the topics that always comes up when objectivists from ASR and elsewhere are challenged is to present the alternative to machine measurement being blind or DBX listening tests. The conversation usually devolves into a recitation of 1) the ... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @mdalton +1 I suggest it is not just gear that is susceptible to effects of noise or responsible for generating noise, but also interactions between low and high current cables (AND THEIR CONNECTORS) that are operating in close proximity to each ... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @mdalton I was intrigued by your exerts from the PSM156 review in ASR so I read it. My suspicion was confirmed, Amir tested the device with one piece of hifi gear attached at a time. My understanding is that higher end power conditioners have seve... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @oberoniaomnia I respect your opinion. As a marine biologist do you think that Amir testing commercially available audio gear is in the same category of scientific work as an NSF funded project to understand how physical, chemical and biological ... | |
| Bose 901 Review Well Done. This peaked my interest because I noticed a pair of Bose 901s lurking behind Steve Martin, Marty Short and Selina Gomez on the set of SM’s supposed NY apartment in the latest series of “Only Murders in the Building”. I wondered if this was part of... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. I have several problems with the site and with Amir, but mainly it is the name “Audio Science Review”. Science is a systematic discipline that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable hypotheses and predictions about the universe. ... | |
| What exactly is ROON? I think if you like reading liner notes you would like Roon. If you don’t know what liner notes are because your music appreciation evolved with iTunes you can read about them here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/liner%20notes | |
| Has this ever happened to you? @deep_333 thanks for your concern. Even with all my tinkering, I still find lots of time to just listen - but now I am liking that part a whole lot more. In fact, I am going through all my lps right now and putting the ones I don’t just love in a ... |
