The evidence burden falls upon the person making the claim. You've provided no valid evidence for any of your claims. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot That said, one is always free to enjoy their own subjective "truths" as long as they don't harm others. If you like one DAC more than another, you're free to think whatever you want. But we're talking about science and engineering here. Not opinions.** **Lots of people post opinions where opinions matter on this forum and there are no arguments. For example, people post opinions about what sort of music they like, which artist's albums are their "best", etc. These are the areas were subjective opinions truly are OK. There is little in the way of science and engineering that can tell me which period of Bob Dylan music I prefer the most that is generalizable to a larger population. Note: others have pointed out in this forum that the audiophilia disease (denial of science and engineering) that has affected many in this hobby does in fact do harm. It is a tip of the larger societal problem where we now have many people who act as if science doesn't matter and all opinions are "equal" regardless of source (expertise, evidence, etc.). *Home:* VortexBox 4TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet) *Cottage:* VBA 3TB (2.3) > LMS 7.8 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win8(64) > LMS 7.9 > Squeezelite *Spares:* Transporter, Touch(3), Radio(3), Boom, SB3, CONTROLLER *Controllers:* iPhone6 & iPadAir2 (iPeng8 & Squeezepad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.8 on Win7(64) laptop *Files:* ripping: dbpoweramp > FLAC; post-rip: mp3tag, PerfectTunes; Streaming: Spotify ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106575 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
