Fair Blind Test??


A blind test between SW1X DAC III and the phono, LPU III. I think the difference is very clear but a good number of people seem to have it wrong.

YouTube uses lossy audio, so this is a pretty useless test. Some of the data is being discarded before you can hear it.

Besides YouTube's lossy audio, God only knows what microphone was used for recording the sound. For all we know, a cell phone was used.  Amazing how they use fancy equipment costing thousands upon thousands and then show it off with 128 kbps audio using an unknown microphone. But, the equipment does look nice....

Welcome to the audio world.  I once had an event where the manufacturer demonstrated several recordings.  They all progressed so you could hear how the manufacturing process was on sound quality.  Everyone agreed but one person who said, I liked the one before.  Well if goes to show, well, I am not sure what it goes to show!

Happy Listening.
