Are DAC's overpriced?

Magazines and website in audio are using paid reviews most of the time. You cannot measure everything. I listened to many amps and sources who had the best measurements. But they all owned a limited level in diversity in sound.

We create sound by Tru-Fi. A 3-dimensional stage is one of the aspects of Tru-Fi. This cannot be measured, but it is very easy to hear it yourself.
Many dacs cannot reveal all the aspects/properties of sound. So we ask clients to bring in their dacs and digital sources.

Then we explain to them which parts are missing when we connected their dacs and sources. And we use the same music (often their own music) again but now with the modified Lumin. It becomes so easy for them to understand directly what they miss.

Most dacs create a 2-dimensional stage. When we compare only this aspect to the huge homographic 3D stage of our modified Lumin players. People often hear for the first time in their life what a 3D stage does with their music. 

The smiles on their faces tells it all. Their euphoric reaction proofs how big the influence is of a 3D stage. Human beings can perceive sound in a 3D stage. But most audio products are still 2D. Many people who contact me miss the emotion in music. So we ask them to bring in their dacs and sources.

When a source can reveal all the aspects/properties of sound it makes clear how limited their incomplete DACS and sources are. It is a lot more easy to create a higher end result when the DAC is inside a source. This is why so many people still use a CD-player. 

People don't understand why their sources lack emotion. But it is very easy to explain, due to the low level in layering in sound. 



 

The coherent sound is essential in audio. This is why I will use conservatorium students during my presentations. I want to show and prove that we create the sound as it sounds in real.

The biggest problem in audio is that most products cannot reveal all the aspects of sound. Due to the fact that these products do not own these aspects/properties. And what is missing never can be heard.

When you do audio by trial and error, it is almost impossible to create an ultimate sound what owns all the aspects of sound. Because you never can look back to understand why the sound and stage is what you can hear. You need to be able to extract the full DNA of each individual part in your system.

When you do not understand sound and music it will never be possible to understand audio at all. When I ask people what the aspects are of sound. They have no idea. When I ask them how our emotion works during listening to music again they have no idea. Even when I ask them on which aspects they judge and choose their system they have no idea.

You can never understand and guide audio when you cannot think and work by the properties of sound. People also have no idea how big the influence is of the acoustics in a room. The same counts for the influence of electro-smog, high-frequency noise, and magnetism. Even the last parts limit the level in the layering of dacs and digital sources.

It just depends on what you are looking for. There are certainly DAC's at every price point.

We always ask people to bring in their own music and also digital sources and dacs. Shoutout will always tell the truth of a result. We work by Tru-Fi, so we create and build sound on all the aspects/properties of sound. 

All people react the same way due to the fact that our emotion works the same way. We have our own preferences in artists and types of music. But voices and instruments sound as they sound. An audio system needs to be able to reveal all the details and aspects of the music/recording.

You need all the aspects of sound of each recording to experience the emotion the music possesses. But when a dac does not own it or is limited in the level in layering in sound. You will never use it for a long time. People have often no idea why their systems lack emotion.

We are a Lumin dealer. We will never sell Lumin players without a dac inside. Based on the fact that we can create a superior end result with Lumin players with an inbuild dac. What we do is modifying the network players with an inbuild dac.

When all the tests would have shown that the dacs would be better, we would have sold these. People will always prefer what is superior in sound and emotion. This is what I love most in audio.

For me audio is like a competition. I love to outperform and win from all competitors. 2nd best and less will always be for the born losers in this world. We want our clients to get the best result for the money they spend. It would be even silly to sell inferior levels in quality.
