When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached?

Better DAC topology, better power supplies, better clocks, better components, better pre and post analog stages and better input types all have a huge impact on what we universally call a DAC. It could be true that all digital to analog converters sound similar (not the same) but that all the other factors mentioned above make up the huge differences in DACs

A digital to audio converter can be a tiny single chip but a DAC is a combination of far too many ancillary variables to be generalized.

And, yes, the price of the DAC - not so much the "converter" makes for better sub-sytems and better sound.

Just get a Technics SU-G700M2 or SU-R1000 and be done with it. 😄

and while you're at it, make sure you have all the mofi records, for the pure, unadulterated digital experience!!! 😂🤣😅

I think we maybe close to that singularity point. Though a lot of differences in DACs are related to the purposeful coloring of the sound.

Actually one could as those units are highly praised by vinyl enthusiasts and reviewers for how beautiful it sounds when playing records back through them.

With the SU-R1000, you can pick from a variety of vinyl settings as well as match your favorite 3 cartridges using the "record" provided to level match it to the integrated.
