The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype

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.

Just like everything else in our society these days, many people seem to be at the extreme here.  Either everything matters or it all sounds the same.  Deal with it - not everything matters, but some things matter to varying degrees.

What would you suggest to improve the ProTools DAC but still be able to use the ProTools  interface? 

Thanks

I love it that a $2,000 dac is low end..yeah ok.

@limomangus $2000 is a lot of money and there are many really good DA for 2000 or less and there are also some that are not so good

it’s not a contest on expense, use your ears and find what works for you

@choiceaudio I tried to engage with the guy in a respectful way and he was just playing games with me and I said look I understand you're new to this and he said I've been doing it 20 years, and I said OK so where are your credentials? You've been doing this for 20 years, the guy has literally no credits for work accomplished, all music.com etc.… So now he's resorted to inflammatory posts and branding himself as an expert, it's very typical of this era, but he's a fucking idiot.

@donavabdear the MTRX with DAD is for atmos ? in order to go a different direction you need external DA, there are many options, I use a combination of the merging with bricasti
