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?

Skip the DAC. This $2k all-in-one player (CD, SACD, FLAC player, streamer) sounds better than any transport and DAC combo regardless of price (incl. $260k dCS). Alex/Wavetouch audio

You seem like a nice enough guy but…

You can’t possibly be serious. Anyone who might make this statement loses what little credibility they may have had.

The earth is flat. Anyone can see that with one’s own eyes. If I don’t want to believe in all the ways it can be described that the earth is a globe I don’t have to. In the end “anyone is free to believe what they will” and still walk on the earth whether it’s flat or a globe. Listen to the music and enjoy the components. BTW don’t be like Mad Mike Hughes. He built a rocket to ride up into the atmosphere to prove to himself the earth is a globe. He crashed back to earth and killed himself. Was it really worth it? I guess to him, it was.
