Tin ear I do believe.
Believe me, you will never hear the difference, especially not worth a price differential of 5k, even if you have better hearing than the creature in the movie "A Quiet Place".
DAC’s
Hello, curious on everyone’s thoughts. I’m still building my system. I came across a really good deal on a Meitner MA3 dac. It’s from an authorized dealer and they offered to sell me one NIB for 7k. I have read and read about dacs and I am getting tired. Haha. I really like the Denafrips Terminator 2, Holo and the lumin T3 being the cheapest of them all. Once I factor in a streamer I am already close or over the 7k. Also I don’t need a dac for anything other then just streaming. Thank you

@jerryg123 - love to have people stop by and listen to music in our dedicated Listening Room. Speaker manufacturers are sending us speakers so that we can have people have a listen as there are not enough dealers around any longer. PLUS we allow people to bring their gear so that they can hear speakers with their own equipment. Try doing that with a dealer. You spent some coin on your DAC but most people hear really do not spend that kind of money. We can help them achieve really excellent sound by helping them with upgrading equipment. It is an eye opening experience when someone stops by and we play something for them. PLUS we get to hear other things and learn also. Before we began manufacturing our own components, we were first audiophools also!
Happy Listening - all are welcome Northern New Jersey

shtr74sims Hello Folks, As a long-timer who waited till emotions were finally triggered in the late 90's by a digital source (Arcam Alpha 9 with dCS Ring dac)...I'm reluctant "investing" in DAC technology. Then again, I've a restricted audio budget and am happy for those who are able. As one who prefers to "rest" on my choices for a long run, I've been steered to the Pro side of dacs and am bi-amping to a pair of subwoofers using a Focusrite Clarett Pro4, paying LOTS of attention to grounding and great power management. A close nearby friend has the ideal large space, great modern gear and is on his third upgrade of the Lampizator DAC - pushing $20K full retail. We share the same "flavors" towards our endgame, and I love visiting him. That said, I'm never sad to come home to stream from my PC to my outboard dac. The super-quiet and revealing Focusrite fully allows me to focus on larger paths to great sound with ample resolution, quiet, dynamics and presentation...easily competing with the big guys. Again, I'm simply stating...the final small percentage of improvement in going to world class dacs might be money better spent elsewhere in the system. Me, I'm always looking for ways to remove UNWANTED distortions and resonances. shtr74sims, it appears that you already have decided on a big-boy dac, and that's great! Bonne chance my audio friend. More Peace, Pin
