Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
Yes, I understand that @mahgister   but when we hear envelopment or surround dispersal of the 3 D soundstage but it’s coming from 2 front speakers it’s still the brain being tricked. Simply because you don’t have all these performers surrounding y...

We are all perfectionists, or we wouldn’t be here. It is amazing to me that the digital algorithms have advanced so far that we can “trick” our brains, OUR brains, not the average casual listener brain, that well. One would expect we would hear SO...

Having said all this it’s entirely possible the best digital systems are indeed as good as Mike says they are. I hope so!  Any advancements in our fold are welcome!  More good choices. I am entirely open minded to this and can’t wait to hear!  Bot... 
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
It seems absurd to argue that digital EQ as close to perfection as it gets while analog is “Stone Age,” way flawed, when we’re still arguing about whether digital playback has caught up to vinyl playback in SQ. The base digital file has ALWAYS bee...

Conversation above is conversion, obviously   
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
So Mike , consider the following: instrument played in studio (psychoacoustics “right”, SQ perfect > recorded with conversation to digital code, an approximation/ representation of real world sine waves heard > complex human construct digit... 
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
To me it’s hard to imagine that complex algorithms imposed upon an already digitized analog hearing world is PERFECT and immune to human psycho acoustic problems in perception. But I’m open minded and will listen to both DEQX and BACCH. @tattooedt...

“Analog is the enemy of signal purity. Again, most music is recorded digitally. Keeping it there until the final conversion to analog at the listeners DAC is the only best way to deal with it. A number can not be distorted. It can only be changed....

Actually, the dealer at Theoretica said the BACCH SP WILL have room correction EQ capability come 2024 as well.

Still have concerns about that much digital processing of the original signal. There’s something elegant and simple about keeping signal pure followed by high end dac and augmenting with high end analog EQ. It’s simple and elegant.

Must be one helluva sophisticated DSP algorithm

Have spoken with dealer. I will hear this system in the next few months or less. He said Elon Musk is putting BACCH in Tesla!  
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
There is a dealer 3 hours drive from me. Will try to hear it.

Theoretica is the only company, right?  Yeah,hardware version sp horribly expensive

I use dedicated audio gear. Not computer savvy and exclusively stream Qobuz. Is the BACCH preamp as good as you approach?
