Some watches cost $10,000, but they don't tell time any better than a $50 Casio. > I find it hard honestly (not that you need to covince me :)) that you > cant hear differences between Dacs. > Which Dacs have you compared? Many, over the years. A Benchmark DAC1, the DACs in the SB3 (with and without linear power supply), touch, and duet, a Lavry, a boutique DAC by a small company I've momentarily forgotten the name of, a Blue Circle DAC, the DACs in various optical disk players and receivers, and many more. > Which Dac do you use yourself, in your own system. > And why did you choose that one? A Benchmark DAC 1. I chose that because it serves as a preamp (it's got several digital inputs), has an analog volume control, headphone outs, and an extremely low noise floor (which is unusually important in my system). It's also cleverly engineered, which appeals to my nerdy side. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82520 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
