Does a DAC need a large/strong power supply?
talking down to everyone,   Saying things that are true is not talking down to people.  Perhaps the issue is people putting ego above everything else? But that is just my subjective opinion.  
MoFi controversy
@rauliruegas ,   I am not sure I have seen a woofer that does not have some breakup at higher frequencies, at least to some degree and this is especially true when you look at the off-axis response. The problem with only using the inductor is th... 
Does a DAC need a large/strong power supply?
As others have said the only things you can trust are your ears and ASR completely discourages listening tests because they are unscientific...lol.   Why do audiophiles feel a need to distort the truth? (There is another word for it). Be hones... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
@sns ,   No, not really. It is more an argument between made up and real.   For instance, one of the people arguing believes that they could tell the difference between $1/4 million of audio equipment either hooked up or not hooked up to a ver... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
You start off with two false premises, and use that to arrive at a whole litany of false conclusions:   How do you determine the TRUTH of anything? We are talking about whether a piece of equipment, even a single wire has a sound signature. Ind... 
Does a DAC need a large/strong power supply?
Yes, experience it yourself @koestner, but keep in mind comparing two products with very similar sounds requires more than just swapping them in and out and getting an impression. A simple small volume difference will create far more of a sound di... 
Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding?
@filipm , an underlying 50Hz, with a 2KHz packet rate is not WiFi. WiFi is rarely an issue with interference into low frequency analog electronics. The 2.4GHz signal is fast enough that most "things" cannot demodulate the frequency, and the modula... 
Just curious if any of you are using a device like this?
I use it, or something similar, but purely for illustration purposes.  
Does a DAC need a large/strong power supply?
I am very confused by ASR loving these cheap DACs. My Yiggy has a very large PS and sounds great. My interest is curiosity as to how these $300 to $600 dacs test so well and have very low noise.   @koestner, it is understandable when all the p... 
Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding?
@filipm ,   I am suggesting that your phono stage is picking up RF that is being radiated through the building wiring. using the inverter would not change that. Though I assume that your turntable was unplugged from the AC and/or unplugged from ...

@ricevs , I will just have to accept that you pull this loving "crap" when you are losing an argument.  
Olivia Newton John Passes at age 73
I will admit it. Grease is still one of my favorite movies.  
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
Still, any piece of electronics has a "sound."  Nobody understands what distortion measurements correlate with a particular sound.   No, any piece of equipment does not have a sound. This is Philelore and is not true.   Ricevs has a longsta...

So much for expecting maturity. If you have cancer go for the loving doctor .....  
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
I am sorry that you cannot interpret measurements and determine how something is likely to sound @ricevs and/or if something will have no additional sound at all. Measurements can help you significantly with one, and completely with that other. Th...
