The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype


Over many decades I have owned my share of multi-thousand dollar dacs.My current is my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5, which I have owned for ~ 4 years. I have made many changes to my system, including cables and it has shined a light on every one, so I tend to agree with the YTV . Your thoughts?

The only thing we have been scammed out of is our time watching that video. Clickbait video. Nothing to see.

I'm interested in the bridge that just needs a little paint. I can listen to music while I paint it.enjoy the music.

I initially bought the the DDP sans the optional outboard power supply (only because the seller didn't have one). I knew from past experience that a quality PS was a huge improvement. After many months, I decided to contact AA directly who had one to sell. HUGE improvement- SOUND INVESTMENT


Actually, as true or false as it my be, none of what the gentlemen in video stated really makes a hill of beans difference to the average audiophile. This hobby is more about what captures your imagination, illusions, stirs ones emotion and passion more than anything else, regardless of price, or, sometime, performance. The equipment is just as important as the music itself. That’s what being an audiophile is all about. I just love gazing at my lovely, expensive audio gear (jewelry) just as much as I do listening to it. This doesn’t make me any less of a music lover. It’s all in the game. Happy listening.

Some real honesty here.
