Start with Upgrade to DAC?

So let’s recap:

-some dude comes onto thread and tells OP he’s getting bad advice from everyone else, needs to up his game to streamer this dude has

-turns out streamer this dude has had same electronics “in the signal path” as Op’s streamer has, but costs $900 more

- i point out that something is amiss with this dude’s advice

- dude responds by pointing to electronics that are not in signal path as reason for superiority of his recommended streamer

- i point out obvious problem with this logic

- some other dude - with whom i do have a history - piles on with ad hominem attacks on me, presumably for making logic-based points?

bottom line: i feel confident in my views, my logic, and my behavior.  Recall, btw, that my first post on the thread was to link to a prior thread for the OP’s benefit so he could see both sides of the “streamer wars”.  (btw, I believe I deserve special credit for linking to a thread where an OP, against my recommendation, spent a ton of money on a streamer, and seems very happy with his decision, which is fine by me)  

- last point: i have not referred to anybody on other side of “streamer wars” as “deaf”, “useless”, “pointless”, or a “pig”.

@mdalton I didn’t call you a pig. It’s the impossible process of trying to convince you that you’re wrong that I was referring to. You know…the saying…never try to teach a pig to sing; it will waste your time and annoy the pig…

Not the same as calling you a pig rather telling others that they’re embarking on a never ending journey.

@mdalton To be clear, you made a snide response to someone here who merely shared his actual listening experience with a streamer, and you took it upon yourself to try to tell him he didn’t know what he was talking about when he heard what he heard with his own ears.  Incidentally, I’ve received emails from other posters here supporting my response and saying that you were off base with your unnecessary comments.

Special credit for giving bad advice that streamers don’t make a difference???  Ha!  And that OP, BTW, is not just very happy but is thrilled with his new Aurender streamer to the point where his streaming setup is now on the level of his vinyl source no thanks to your “advice.”  Not that you’d understand that since according to you streamers don’t make a difference.  Give it a rest dude — you do more harm than good here. 

@audphile1 

so you just compared me to a pig?  ok,whatever.  But see, unlike you, I’m not trying “to prove that you’re wrong”.  Like you (and you know who), I think I’m right, but I’m always willing to acknowledge the possibility that I’m not. So I’m ok with you (and you know who) expressing your views, but you guys have a problem letting me express mine.  Look back at our history and you’ll see that virtually every time it’s simply me defending myself from gratuitous attacks from you (and you know who).

Presumably not with a chorus of beautiful hog harmony.
 

No. It’s still just oinking…
