DAC 'Scam' Vid

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 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.

Fortunately for snake oil salesmen and women people want to believe they can hear better than bats.

 

Your post illustrate  well what is a sophism:

(---Some sellers of snake oil claim that their dac makes an extraordinary difference...

---This fact was proven by blind test which debunk them,and placebo effect is always only a delusion,

---Then all those perceiving an audible differences between dac are snake oil peddlers...)

 Did you catch the hole in your thought or is it necessary that i spell it for you ?

 

To perceive a difference in dac or not  on the same price level or not, the room/system/ ears/brain history and parameters are fundamental...

Period.
