What is most important part of a system?
randy-11"The DAC is easy to get good sound from at a few hundred dollars and there is no need to spend $35,000 on it." I guess I am in the wring business then! I recently demonstrated my DAC to a person who had a well known company that builds a inexpensive DAC around $1K. You know the rest. The guy had Magico speakers in his system. He sold his DAC within 30 seconds because it could not compete with the sound he heard from my DAC. Same goes for a $5K DAC owner, and a $18K DAC owner. He played the Lou Reed famous song take a walk on the wild side. His DAC did not get the spacing, soundstage, tone, etc., correct and when the backing vocals came on, they switch from left to right speakers, his DAC barely showed the switch. With my DAC it was like they walked across the room, faded out in the left speaker, came on to the right speaker, and then the vocals got louder and faded away with decay that his DAC could not reproduce. With my DAC you could hear the number of persons singing in the backround, with his just a flat wall of sound, no dimension, hard sounding, no emotion. You cannot make statements like this unless you have really heard what a really good DAC can do for a system. With the $1K DAC the system sounded like every other mid-fi system I have heard even with $30K speakers. Just saying - Happy Listening. |
