Benchmark Media Systems. Right or wrong

Getting back to the question, right or wrong…

Generally, right.

But someone spent a lot of time writing an essay that likely won’t increase sales…and some of numbers were way off…like $200 isolation platforms…sign me up!

@macg19  That is why it was a brave thing to do. However, if all manufacturers of great equipment would take this stance instead of keeping their mouths shut, scared of losing sales, there would not be near as much mythology and people would have more money to spend on great equipment instead of pissing it away on garbage. People with an electronics engineering education can spot the BS right away. Most of us do not and we have a hard time filtering out the nonsense. However with some science background you can research almost anything on the net. It takes time and effort, but when spending serious money, worth it. I assume from the start that everything is marketing, and marketing is mythology designed to sell the product. Thus, it is up to me to validate any claims.

@audphile1 If I blinded you you would never be able to tell the difference between most DACs.

If I cut one of your ears off you would be half blind. If I cut the other ear off you would be completely blind. This is because the hat that you were wearing when you came over to blind me would just fall over your eyes. We vcan then do a blind test where you will tell me if you can hear the difference.
