I quit watching after he mentioned his free plug-ins. Seems like he is just using controversy to try to improve his rankings to sell his own products.
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?

Did not bother to view the video. My journey started with my iPhone hooked up through an adapter to a Pass Labs Aleph P. I found it almost unsuitable for even background music. When I went to a Devialet 200 set up with its built-in DAC, I could now listen to digital for background music. The next step was to the built-in DAC in a Vinnie Rossi L2S preamp which enabled me to actually listen to digital and enjoy it. My current DAC has virtually become a replacement for my analog system since the sound quality is so good and the convenience is no contest.

And, one more thing ... The expert in the video forgot to mention that it is highly recommended that a tech come out twice a year to adjust the clock to compensate for Daylight Savings Time on those expensive DACs to keep them working at peak performance. Just one more reason not to blow your money on those "high end" DACs. |
