Just like everything else in our society these days, many people seem to be at the extreme here. Either everything matters or it all sounds the same. Deal with it - not everything matters, but some things matter to varying degrees.
The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype
Over many decades I have owned my share of multi-thousand dollar dacs.My current is my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5, which I have owned for ~ 4 years. I have made many changes to my system, including cables and it has shined a light on every one, so I tend to agree with the YTV . Your thoughts?

@limomangus $2000 is a lot of money and there are many really good DA for 2000 or less and there are also some that are not so good it’s not a contest on expense, use your ears and find what works for you @choiceaudio I tried to engage with the guy in a respectful way and he was just playing games with me and I said look I understand you're new to this and he said I've been doing it 20 years, and I said OK so where are your credentials? You've been doing this for 20 years, the guy has literally no credits for work accomplished, all music.com etc.… So now he's resorted to inflammatory posts and branding himself as an expert, it's very typical of this era, but he's a fucking idiot. @donavabdear the MTRX with DAD is for atmos ? in order to go a different direction you need external DA, there are many options, I use a combination of the merging with bricasti |
---No dac sound the same as others dac... --- No dac sound the same with different gear coupling --- There is no dac scam,only ignorance about the threefold way to embed rightfully any system in his working dimensions (mechanical,electrical,acoustical) once we have decided to pick a dac. Stuck with it and work on his embedding in your speakers/room/ears. Change it only after all has been done... --- There is difference in Dac design, quality, and synergy... pick the right one for synergy &budget then embed it wisely... you will be happy as i am....
Dac sellers profit from customers ignorance about the way to improve their system at low cost...No scam just plain ignorance... Knowledge must replace upgrades road...
