DAC Measurements vs Actual Experience
Hey Chesebert can you tell me who wrote this in 2011 and whose fairly limited posts have been almost all about DACs and a large portion about Linn DACs?  Biased?I personally don't mind listening to mp3 (320kps) using Klimax DS. It sounds a whole ... 
Emotional rollercoaster
How do you know the ambience was accurate to the recording @boxer12? How many of your recordings are live miked with only 2 microphones placed head width at a typical listener position? .... Oh and that you were there for the recording?

Who says cables don't make a difference?

luisma,This shielding "concept" is flawed and I am going to assume comes from a lack of understanding of what is happening. The person who came up with it is giving himself a bit too much credit.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&... 
DAC Measurements vs Actual Experience
@sixfour3,As someone who believes in science, measurements, and subjective listening, I believe there are some serious misconceptions about "measurements", and the position that those who use measurements take, and what they mean. That misconcepti...
