The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
I've been talking to my cousin brother about sound quality. He is a self-proclaimed expert audiophile. He says that Audio Science Review has all of the answers I will need regarding audio products.
In particular, he says an inexpensive DAC from any Chinese company will do better than the expensive stuff. He says fancy audio gear is a waste of money because the data is already bit-perfect. All DAC chips sound the same. Am I being mislead?
He also said that any DAC over $400 is a waste of money. Convincing marketing is at play here, he says.
He currently owns a Topping L30 headphone amplifier and D30 Pro DAC. He uses Sennheiser HD 569 headphones to listen to music. I'm not sure what to think of them. I will report my findings after listening one day! (likely soon, once I get some free time)

Wow mahgister, what part of
don't you seem to comprehend as insulting? (I'll make it easy for you...it's the part of the sentence after the comma). Now didn't I already point out that you're taking almost every opportunity to jump on my posts to vain attempts to get at me and that it's making you look foolish? All the best, |

A two line remark of jessmith about biases and cognitive dissonance which is also a part of the analysis when we think about biases as LEARNED habits and not only simple prejudices but also cognitive resonant/dissonant mechanism is not an insult... Save for someone ego who react by a patent cartoon image insult instead of answering about the question linked to biases and the cognitive dissonance mechanism related to biases learning histories... In a word jessmith was notinsulting you but pointing to you something about what are biases in a more general way...
