But I am just comparing it to the Duet. I am feeding an old Cambridge Audio DacMagic. I would be interested if you think you can hear a difference between the optical output and the RCA. It seems to sound more defined but I have old ears & it could be the placebo effect:rolleyes: The same reviewer has some videos on speaker placement & I like how he points out to change the acoustics of a room requires taking out walls:rolleyes: And I can image a few fanatics doing that but most people deal with reality. He concedes it isn't rational when he brings it up. I just couldn't resist sharing his review though.
If you have some more time to waste you might watch this guy. I agree with his premise that audio gear doesn't need to be expensive but unfortunately his technical prowess isn't up to the task. Ultimately it's what you enjoy & if it sounds good to you then that's all that counts. I have always considered recorded music is a poor substitute for live music:p And I have seen & heard some bad shows. https://www.youtube.com/user/ZeosReviews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87p7NaNg9vY&spfreload=10 (1) Pi 3 w/ HifiBerry Dac + Pro & Max2Play, (1) Touch, (1) Transporter, QNAP 853a for files ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tex's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30118 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106736 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
