The vast majority of people share the same subjective opinion. Anyone can read reviews from various products, in this case I will stick with the Audiogd Dacs. General consensus among most everyone that I have read are the same relating to the sound signature of the Sabre, PCM1704 and Wolfson Dacs. All three share the same topology and output stages....meaning that the only discernible difference is the Dac chip. This whole topic points to a larger more worrisome issue. This is the hardness and rigidity of human nature and how they respond to others with vastly different perspectives. Subjective opinions being valid ONLY for the individual perceiving the difference may be true, however, the worrying part is others being unwilling to verify this perception [out of spite, hate or other reasons]...this is to say, yes YOU or anyone could listen to the same Dacs in question and report back their perceptions...if they are brave enough and honest enough. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ edwardthern's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66099 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106575 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
