| Send in the Clowns @jaybe If you think it is a waste of time, then do not comment. | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @aberyclark Well, too each his own. Topping is definitely a brand I avoid. Any dac that makes the voices of Renee Flemming and Joan Sutherland for example, sound harsh is to be avoided by me. | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @aberyclark "I have the Topping E70Velvet and it sounds superb." I am curious. How much opera do you listen to? How many Cds with sopranos do you have? | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? Keeps vibrations to an absolute minimum. It runs almost totally silent. | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? I guess most of you have not heard Doehmann. These are by far the best I have heard, regardless of cost. | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? Yes. Topping sounds poor to me in the mid range, especially for women's voices. I find it harsh. | |

| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @richardbrand "Now I do have a couple of magnums of Henshke Hill of Grace in my basement ." Now we are talking. Mount Mary is another wine I prefer. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @devonplombier "@richardbrand that's a cute story. Are you making that up? 🤔" That story is just that - a story. It is not correct. By the way, even though Grange is the dearest Aust wine it is by far not the best. | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? There are some erroneous posts here Best turntables: Doehman Techdas - not airforce as on poster calls it CS Port SME Kuzma Quite a few others | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @chenry "the results are open for comment. NO! They are not open for comment. If your comment does not match their philosophy you are thrown off. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. This is the problem. Some of the brands, notably Topping, do not sound that good and have had quality problems. Yet say something negative about this holy grail and the whole of ASR comes down on you like a ton of bricks. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @Hilde45 "I honestly don’t understand why ASR is like Voldemort to some folks here" Because as soon as you say well designed Dacs can and do sound different, (and they do), you get abused and banned from the site. |
