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.

If i gave my resume of audio sound quality: --- All pieces of gear by budget limit virtue must be on the same level of quality scale, speakers,dac,amplifier, pre, turntable etc --- A dac installation cannot replace acouastics control at any price, but the best acoustics control at any price cannot replace a dac either --- but it is way easier to buy a relatively good dac than to create acoustics balanced controls of a system/room... --- Those who do not perceive difference between dac must forget acoustics, their hearing will not be as resolving as necessary to install mechanical acoustic control of the system /room... --- Then you must pay an acoustician or live with the illusion that gear upgrade solve all problem... Sorry for you ... |
@rwwear how is the dcs law suit thing related to this thread? |
If you believe this is true, what then? If you believe it isn't true, what then? Why does this writer's opinion about what is or isn't audible or worth the expense of buying a DAC at any price important to you? I happen to believe he is wrong, based on my own experiences of DACs above and below his threshold of $200. This seems like a troll. Of course that doesn't mean I think the price of a DAC is a useful indicator of its quality, performance or value compared to other DACs. |
