| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Sorry for a potential source of confusion. I did not mean to suggest that the link to Archimago’s page on filters was support for my scepticism. The basis for that scepticism is on the one hand the excellent measured results of all modern DACs whe... | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! I have already answered you before about my experiences and my current setup (why do you keep asking). And no I do not claim all guitars sound the same. Amplifiers are not musical instruments, and they should not be. And indeed, I do not rate many... | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! Have you ever participated in a controlled experiment on this? I have, and it was a sobering experience (I expected to be able to tell them apart). So, can you substantiate your claim under controlled conditions? If you can you can earn the free H... | |

| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! I am not so sure this community is that knowledgeable about test protocol (and science is not a democracy I am afraid). Mind you, I recently did post some links to controlled tests that produced exactly the result that I claim. Do you have tests t... | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! There are many silly stories going round here about the sonic character of amplifiers. If an amplifier is any good it will not gave a sonic character, even in the most revealing system. So my simple suggestion is to get a matching Emotiva with eno... | |

In case of the latter, the first thing is to look for the particular version of Bluetooth that your pho... | |
| Does a streamer do anything to the data that Tidal provides? The only part of CD players that affects the sound is the DAC and just possibly some of the analog circuitry.
