that video was laughably bad
a dacs sound quality is much more impacted on the dacs analog stage then the chip set
Where does "MidFi" differ from "HiFi" or "LOFI"?
Given the vast range of product and costs thereof in this industry, I'm curious where the "break points" are between levels of fidelity? Equipment can range from $100's to $100,000s+, so where is "MIDFI" vs. "HIFI"?
The ear hears from a range of 20-20,000HZ, but mid-range is certainly not at the 10,000HZ level.
just curious what you all think.

@audiotroy , what did you think of the video by Thomas? |
@audiotroy +1 The backlash against HEA equipment is approaching a comical level. IMO the Youtube audio community has perpetuated this negative attitude. One must realize this is an important form of revenue for many of the Youtubers that push inferior audio products. Another angle is a form of "brainwashing" the masses that very little money is needed to create a "state of the art" audio system. To create a true HEA system takes knowledge/time/flexibility(open mind) and unfortunately a sufficient amount of financial resources are needed. |
I look at it this way: at what point do I hear a difference in SQ between two products. So there a multiple levels, not just three. I had a $500.00 DAC, and although the $1-3k DACs sounded different, and in some cases better, I was not really impressed until I went a little past $5k for a new DAC. I expect I’d have to go to $10-12k to get a profound difference from there, and so on. So the jumps are less ‘digital’ and more ‘analog’…just depends on where and when you started the journey. |
