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?

jl35   unfortunately it sounds terrible on Youtube ...

We talk and listen through the cell phone mic and speaker every days. Trust me. YT sounds is not that bad. At least, any one can compare and judge which 1 of 2 sounds is better. Alex/Wavetouch

@mihorn The oppo is a fine player and was great value. You are simply overstating its capabilities. Perhaps something is being lost in translation?

 

At the end of the day though, for you to proclaim it the world’s best is ridiculous.

I’ve been Home Entertain audio shows every years for last >10 years. Many guests heard my system and said my system sounded the best at the show. I used WT-95 in all those shows.

All below are by A’phile Junkie (audio youtuber) at same show weekend.

In this video (my system), people’s voices and the audio music sound warm, musical, and blending naturally (like you are in live band café).

In other rooms, people’s voices and the music don’t blend and sound bright and distorted. https://youtu.be/Zf71OfPZm4c?si=GsQW5efJYGnEUSYe&t=114

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to listen them even 1 minute. My WT-95 is absolute the world’s best sound CD player.

Hear my videos from diff years: https://youtu.be/LgECjImr-qY?si=UFdVQIt7isvjxMPu
