@jtcf Resolution has never been a top priority. I don’t mean to be contentious but did you not read through the thread? I wasn’t actually looking for more resolution. I’m much more a music lover who prizes emotional engagement. I was looking t...

@mahgister  Alright. I will start with a different DAC and see what occurs...  
"The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism"
@mahgister  ..Greatest creations are not so much usually channelling, as instead elevated consciousness level and communication or merging with the part of ourself more higher called the " higher self"  I suppose, for those who otherwise have ...

@jetter Coax isn’t damaged and is not within reach of dog. ;o) Sent message to Silverline.

@mahgister I only say that the dac may not be the problem in itself but the synergy on some frequencies response never mind if it is very good on some other aspects between it and the rest of gear If this is true, then would logic suggest swa...

@mahgister I wasn’t actually looking for more resolution. I’m much more a music lover who prizes emotional engagement. I was looking to correct the poorly-controlled bass I was getting in my previous system, which I found distracting and increas... 
"The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism"
@tylermunns Dylan has said he has "no idea" where his 60’s material came from. In the same interview, he implies they came from "somewhere else". Keith Richards, whom few would characterize as a "mystic", has said something to the effect that so...

@mahgister Is it not our stubborn certainty that we "know" how things are and are not that, more than anything else, gets in the way? We cannot induce or share experience with words for sure...Except in some degree with poetry.. I’m drawn to... 
"The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism"
@mahgister  You would be right if between a mystical experience and a perception of a plant growing seen from a scientific viewpoint there would have been no middle ground perspective nor any levels... To clarify, I was expressing my doubt reg...

@mijostyn  Reality and mysticism are always at odds with each other. I have been told on many occasions that I have to give people "hope." I never did when there was none. Miracles only happen in fairy tales. Fairy tales are for children.  I'm...

@mahgister  My wife and I enjoyed exploring Charlevoix several years ago and hope to return there in the not-too-distant future. What a beautiful landscape!    
How to proceed?
@czarivey  Agreed -- I could always go back to the signal chain I had before sibilance and fatigue emerged.  @mitch2  To clarify, I'm not looking for particular dac recommendations so much as design characteristics/features associated with nois...

@hilde45  Thanks for the empathy and the link.  ;o)
