DAC 'Scam' Vid
Fortunately for snake oil salesmen and women people want to believe they can hear better than bats.   Your post illustrate  well what is a sophism: (---Some sellers of snake oil claim that their dac makes an extraordinary difference... ---Th... 
Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ?

Critical listening and altered states
@mahgister  Music absorption or immersion cannot coexist with a state of acoustic stress or dissatisfaction... I can’t argue with this but I’m confused about how "absorption" relates to "altered states as related to what @hilde45  stated at ...

If i gave my resume of audio  sound quality: --- All pieces of gear by budget limit virtue must be on the same level of quality scale, speakers,dac,amplifier, pre, turntable etc --- A dac installation cannot replace acouastics control at any pri...

Critical listening and altered states
Very interesting post thanks. I am thinking that musical absorption is better description of what we audiophiles do than critical listening.  Music absorption or immersion cannot coexist with a state of acoustic stress or dissatisfaction... T... 
Critical listening and altered states
I forgot to say to our "text sarcastic corrector" that this poem: Instead, a koan: The words all flow, Yet meaning hides in the prose, Mind in tangled knot.  This poem Is not a Koan, because a koan in zen practice is always a "non sensical qu... 
Critical listening and altered states
An interesting deep scientific discovery about "timbre" meaning for music evaluation and perception :   «The mathematical rules for creating musical harmony may be more malleable than thought. Western music theory traditionally holds that chord... 
Critical listening and altered states
Now if we forgot sarcasms and  ad hominem attacks in poetical form or not,  We can say using science that "critical state" of listening in audio and music is determined by evaluation of "timbre" micro-dynamics and meanings...  It is why my point... 
Critical listening and altered states
Sigh. Wrong again. Ok, I give up. Instead, a koan: The words all flow, Yet meaning hides in the prose, Mind in tangled knot. And a limerick: There once was a poster online, Whose temper was awfully inclined To flare at a tweet, Then stomp tin...

+1 for poster with a positive set of mind when proposing his set of  critical rational arguments... -1 for ad hominem attacks with no rational argument...   0 for herd like behaviour, one poster after the other mocking someone...     ( A rat... 
Will AI. Minimize the Design differences of audio
A.I. had been trained "reading" how many books do you think ? He can perfectly resume a new book in seconds... Try it... It is wrong half the time about reasoning in context yes  you are right here .  But the facts he gathered can be sourced... ...

The most important factor for buying a dac is buying one which price will be commensurate with the others gear pieces value... If not, evaluating a few thousand  bucks dac in a low cost system as mine makes no sense... There is good dac at all p... 
Critical listening and altered states
A  deep acoustic Koan for my friend asvjerry: What is the sound of a bell ringing in a cage with no air ?           A clue for the meditation: A wave is not necessarily a perceived sound and a perceived sound is not a mere wave in the ai... 
Will AI. Minimize the Design differences of audio
Let me know when AI can actually listen to any of its designs.   The idea of  self replicating machine and self improving dated back from John Von Neumann, 75 years ago... With actual A.I. it is a question of years... Hinton one of the found...
