Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge

Carl, first of all if you're right about something you're right. Just because you were wrong on an issue (that Resolution Audio gentleman's explanation seems to bear that out) doesn't mean that you were wrong on everything. Secondly I was remiss in calling your remarks sophomoric. They were sophomoric and neanderthal. I haven't run into a total throwback like you for quite a while. And it has nothing to do with PC. It has to do with real world experience working with women physicists, educators, engineers, physicians, secretaries, medical personnel, research and tech "weenies", and many of them stereo lovers. From all economic strata. Having two grown girls that love listening to music on a high end stereo. Reading remarks like those from Plsl and his wife, above. Selling some equipment to a woman who "has it all" and just happens to listen to a high end stereo. You cannot make crass generalizations and expect to have them received as gospel when they are just pure prejudicial rubbish. Ever visit a private and predominately women's college or university? Ever look into dorm room after dorm room and see the stereo equipment in the private rooms? I'm not talking about boom boxes here. I'm talking about fine equipment. (BTW - my answer to that question is yes. About a hundred times). But as not all men are stereo lovers not all women are not stereo lovers. And YOU MISS THE POINT in the discussion. I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE REPRODUCTION OF THE LIVE MUSICAL EVENT OR AT LEAST THE CLOSEST REPRESENTATION OF THAT LIVE EVENT IN TWO CHANNEL STEREO; AND WHY DIGITAL WILL EVENTUALLY SURPASS ANALOG IN THE ABILITY TO RECREATE THE WIDE DYNAMIC TRANSIENTS NECESSARY TO MAKE THE BRAIN RECOGNIZE A MORE REALISTIC INTERPRETATION OF A RECORDED MUSICAL EVENT. Something that you were unable to do. Now tell me, you've forgotten how to read too, right? Where did I mention HT? To offer your jaundiced view of the world according to Carl and to espouse the notion that your bigotry is the truth is not just nonsense - it is lunacy. But I respect your right to be a bigot. You do it better than most.

I don't know how my automatic transmission works, but I can drive my truck. I am enjoying my Bel Canto DAC1 in the DVD-toslink-DAC set up. If someone would kindly send me some of the other DACs for a comparison, I would be glad to share my thoughts. My address is......

Well said, Albert.

Carl - look for the thread about vinyl and live music. A lot of recording-types and musicians in on that one. There is a great explanation by a recording engineer or two about high reequency roll off in the vinyl recording process. Maybe something to do with RIAA? Anyway, read through the thirty or so posts and try to learn something for a change instead of letting your not insignificant bruised ego stand in the way of reaching an understanding of how the brain processes sound and how the process of recording sound onto vinyl is compromised. As to your juvenile comments regarding hearing - only true way to accurately compare or measure hearing is in a total anechoic chamber using standardized methods. Best place I know of is at an Eye and Ear Hospital. Yours better that mine? Doubt it. I don't really care. What's it going to be next? Dualing triodes at 10 paces? Grow up. Time to go play with my stereo.
