Msb dacs why not alot of postings

“My point is....could they consistently tell which one they were listening to. Could anyone tell the least expensive MSB from the most expensive?”

djones51,

Why should anyone be subjected to constant testing what they were listening to once it’s determined that DAC X is better than DAC Y?

You remind me of one of the poster, he once wrote,

“Lets run an experiment. You have to be blindfolded and sitting in your listening position. Have a friend or your wife plug and unplug the unit. All he or she can say is "OK" when they make a change. You say "on" or "off" after every "OK" That person keeps a record of your responses by writing down R for right and W for wrong. Record 50 responses then determine the percentage of right and wrong answers. Let us know the results.”

For a while you had us all believing in you that you actually come here for the education 😂

I do come to be educated. Give me my first lesson how was it 

determined that DAC X is better than DAC Y?

Why should anyone be subjected to constant testing what they were listening to ...

They shouldn't. This is a hobbyist's group, not a scientific forum, and users should be free to post their experiences here without being attacked by demands for blind testing. Those who are interested in blind testing are free to conduct their own research. (If they do, I hope they share their experiences with us.) Those who insist that sighted listening tests are of no value are really being disingenuous because, again, this is not a scientific forum. If that's truly what a user seeks, then he is in the wrong place on A'gon.

(Sorry for the slight off topicness) @nitewulf In the past year I've had a PS Audio PWD & Directstream, Matrix X-Sabre Pro, Shiit Bifrost II, Audio Mirror T3-SE, Lampizator Amber 3, and ifiIDSD Pro in my house for extended auditions (10-30 days)... all except for the Directstream at the same time. Unfortunately despite the great measurements, I didn't like the Matrix. It just sounded bland and involving. I started kind of dreading when it would come up in the rotation. I chose the Analog Devices based Audio Mirror, which makes beautifully coherent, natural,and real music, with the most three dimensional soundstaging of the group. That's the reason I continue to read about high end r2rs.
