| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well "Acoustic is the sleeping princess in Audio, but all people are looking for one of the working 7 dwarves...."Very well said, mahgister! | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander "Even though they measure exactly the same, the sound difference is off the charts"Absolute heresy! This simply cannot be! Next you'll be saying one piece of wire sounds different from another! | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well @jasonbourne52:" All competently-designed DACs will sound alike. This applies to ones from 20+ years ago to the present"Huh ? When I was shopping for DACs, I did home-demos of DACs from PS Audio, Heed, Metrum, COS and Aqua and was shocked by the ... | |
