When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached?

I'm not in 'The List'. so I'm pissed.

As a 'resident loon' with no dog in the show, DACs' v. ducks, I'd rather the latter for dinner....;)

As for the former(s)....those with 'dog whistle' ears can spend to their hearts', ears', and minds' content and contentions...

Meanwhile....*munch*....popcorn 'n beer, cheers 'n jeers.... *L*

Do carry on.....😏

...'cus I know y'all will....

Have a good week, J

A DAC by nature needs to fill in (guess) the gaps between the digital sampling rates, so a higher rate per second (aka Hz) will produce a more accurate output. That's why, when available, I prefer my source to have a 192k sample rate.

A comparison might be to consider the difference between a standard signal and a 4k signal when both are displayed on a 4k screen. The up scaling might be decent, but there's no real comparison.

you will not like this; i think the DAC is almost a bridge too far vis a vis power cord and connects. the deal breaker for me is the DAC must be integrated in the integrated amp package. It’s just too many more variable otherwise.

Wait, you think a DAC is as "silly" as expensive power cords and interconnects?

This feels like ASR cross posting lol

A border patrol dac is all you need, if you like your music to sound more warm and natural. Takes the nasty edge off of red book cd playback. Loving mine.
