DAC 'Scam' Vid


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Sg1nYLmLCw

The TL:DW is that any well made Dac should not be more than $200 and anything above that doesn't sound any better since they all use similar cheap chips to do the D/A conversion. Anything above $200 for a DAC is basically snake oil and theres no improvement in sonics.

Appreciate your insights.

I can hear differences between all the dac i bought... just a few...

But i was able to tune my room by hear adjusting like a piano tuner 100 resonators with time...

Once this is said...

 The difference between dac pale compared to differences between acoustically  uncontrolled and controlled  room ...

And i must add that in many "living room "  the differences between dac will be not audible by most ...

 

My response in the comments just now: "idk if a 20+ year veteran mastering engineer is the best option to critique DACs lol. You can barely hear your wife and kids from blown out hearing. This is like an old hooker telling two virgins what will or won't be enjoyable on the 1st night of their honeymoon lol."

To the OP.

I am glad you got some kind of confirmation here and I would agree with most statements about differences in sound in DACS.

I don’t think you are the Mayor of Simpleton but if you are from Texas I have a few questions for you.

Are the generalizations or stereotypical statements about Texas true or false?

"Texans only wear cowboy hats and ride horses everywhere"

"Texans only listen to two types of music- Country and Western "

"Football is the most important thing to a Texan"

"All Texans drive trucks, wear boots and kill snakes in their back yard to eat for dinner"

I ask this because I think stereotype comments and generalizations are funny and repeated by people mostly to entertain themselves and to get a laugh. Should I think these things are true about Texans?

If you believe that video, then why are you even here?
