The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
To the folks who believe that we ALL hear the same, I am posting a link to a scientific study. There are other scientific articles, if you keep your minds open, that are available on the net, if you search: We're All Hearing Differently, and Here...

Yes, your $1,000 USB cable is very cool, but admit that there isn’t any scientific evidence that it sounds audibly better than Amazon’s $5 cable. I provided a link to one scientific study that showed how people her differently. And this study (... 
Best player for Spotify
You can create playlists in Foobar2000 for your Spotify playlists. The advantage is you can upsample the songs, if you prefer it that way. Of course Spotify Connect with the Spotify app on the desktop is also a way to go.  
audible illusions vs supratek, vs holoaudio vs backert
I own the Backert and love it. No experience on the others you have listed.

prof because that's you (and likely your imagination) Is this just like how you want to imagine that every person in the world has the same hearing? Might the following article might help you? Scientific Study - not imagination Search the ne... 
Just got some AudioEngine A5+ speaker and they blow my mind
I smell a rat. I agree. When something like this happens, it is always a suspect. Now-a-days this forum is infested with a lot newbies pushing products…..some agenda or motive. I have seen this happen with a certain speaker company a couple of ... 
DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss
and then being very happy to make the purchase and enjoying listening to their favorite music. Come on @ddafoe someone is melting down on your happiness. How can you have such a nice system and enjoy your music! You have absolutely no right to ... 
Speaker positioning: why do audiophiles neglect this so much?
A dedicated room is not necessary, but dedicated music listening is. In other words you need to just listen to the music and not do anything else.  Very well said @sharri  👏👏👏👏👏  
TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ?
@bosssound , you are on a roll! I am seeing all the DACs that I am kind of shortlisting. It took me more than 2 years to finalize my speakers. And I am expecting the same for DAC. But based on your notes it looks like the TEAC UD-701N would be top... 
DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss
Tosh!   Another sad example of arrogance and incivility. Well @steakster this is expected from that poster who is pushing for a different DAC. I am expecting some more folks to come and derail the thread. These folks will have no experience wit... 
DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss
@jimmy2615 , Congratulation on finding the DAC you can live with for a long long time - not easy to decide. And Thank You for your honest assessment about the "DAC comparisons", especially the Oppo. Have fun with your music!

@bruce19, Not at all. I asked a simple question. Why did you think that was pejorative? What religious reference are you talking about? I have absolutely no idea how you came to this conclusion! Please explain, if possible, since this one really ...

"show us your data." I think he is measuring the wrong thing. Ask your guru to show how he measures a person's emotions. Some folks prefer precision while some prefer musicality. Now you would argue that you prefer precision over musicality - a... 
Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive
With IRL, the simulations are obsolete. When Tekton first posted advts for their loudspeakers, I remember, they said the same about other loudspeakers becoming obsolete - which did not happen. The only thing that happened is that those words/ad... 
Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive
@tektondesign , I think what @mahgister is trying to say is that it would mean additional speakers to match your main speakers with matching cables. That cost might be a bit too much for folks. And then you have to match the surround amp to be si...
