You serious Clark? The conclusion you guys are making seems to be that all gear sounds the same. You really believe that?
Let's take DACs, for example. I'm assuming that by "DAC" that we are referring to the conversion to analog (chips and related design), power supply, analog stage design, master clock design, etc. If they all sound the same, then I guess jitter is a myth. I'd also have to conclude that you believe that power supply designs have little or no bearing on sound quality. Additionally, the design of the analog output stage must be meaningless too. Oh, and all chips and the related implementation...pffft....doesn't matter. It's all the same. Why is that people without an investment in hi-end gear seem to always know so much!? I mean, if you've never upgraded over the course of years and actually heard MAJOR improvements in the areas of dynamic range, soundstage size (width/depth/height), resolution (particularly intimate detail), transient speed, etc, then how do you know so much and why are you so desperate to "prove" that anyone willing and able to spend more than yourselves is simply a vain fool. I wonder, isn't there a better way to show off than having an expensive pre-amp or a wristwatch? Geez, it couldn't simply be that hi-end gear actually is pretty amazing when all the pieces are in place (speaker position, acoustic treatment, great gear well matched, etc)? Nah, couldn't possibly be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jh901's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18175 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95757 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
