Yes, exactly such statements qualifies the thread to the audiophile section. I don't believe you can really differentiate a solid DAC like the one in SBT from a real expensive DAC in a blind test. But hey, that's my opinion as a snake oil denier. And so I added another statement by myself that should better be discussed in the audiophool section. Sorry but meanwhile I get really angry about all the snake oil defenders, who bring other people to invest their hard earned money in useless stuff. And we are not speaking about peanuts, it's a hell lot of money we are talking bout. On audio please trust science and not believe and please trust your ears in a blind test! And no, acoustic science and the understand of human hearing is not a mostly unexplored area. These are two science area we know everthing important (in terms of hearing music) since more than 50 years. Why do so-called audiophiles believe that there is some kind of unidentified mystical component in such a simple thing like our ears, in a time there we explore the details of our genom. But what I believe in, is the power of suggestion and the placebo effect. So, I believe everyone how sense an improvement in a good prepared demonstration of a snake oil dealer. And I believe that, if you want to hear an improvement, you will hear it. That's the way our brain is working, but NOT OUR EARS! It's pure placebo and suggestion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ae67's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29964 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105536 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
