DAC’s

Have a LessLoss Echo's End R2R with 640X and the LessLoss footers for a demo in my system.

If it works out I will the replace my 280D and gift that to my daughter for her new condo. 

Those who say DACs don’t matter, zeroes and ones, I want to smoke what you are smoking. Or have tin ears. Or never listened to music. I would have saved myself a lot of money.

It’s like those guys with a Chromecast Audio as a “DAC” who bitch about Analog sounding so much better than their Digital. Well… no shit.

Mr. Obvious. Very nice.

Precisely the only way to determine value. Head to head.

The value that others perceive has little or no bearing since they hear and spend differently.

 

richardmathes 8 posts 10-27-2022 at 04:14pm  $10,000 for a DAC? Someone's priorities, i.e., the important ones, the social ones, are out of whack. Never mind that the claim that there is a audible difference of $9700. Or is the $3000 device a piece of crap? Or or we just saying, "I've got money to blow?" And little common sense? Even as practical advice, this is worthless to anyone who lives in a world of budgets.

The MSRP of my DAC is $20,000. Esoteric N-01XD. Or it was when I bought it a couple of years ago.

Is this too bad? Can I be “saved”?

…..paid my taxes. I will spend my money as I see fit.

Yup! That’s sums it all up. You owe nothing to anyone
