This isn’t the 70’s where all we look at it is a single frequency THD value.How true that is. I grew up with DIN 45500, the HiFi standard. THD of 0.1% and 40-16,000 Hz was phenomenal performance. We (in W-Germany) also had relatively unbiased cons...

I don't disagree with that, but that's another blanket statement. There is no one else who does what he does: independent testing and objective conclusions (mixed with bias). I use the information for what it is, one of many criteria when selectin...

FYI, a well-respected member of the audiophile community has taken the time and presented a technically correct assertion of why any switch or cable on the networking side of the digital audio stream *cannot* make any difference. Listen and learn:...

Electrical interference or noise makes no changes to the data packets themselves. It could cause a packet not to be received, or fragmented.Could you please re-write this in CAPS, so that everyone can read it :-) Some people believe that expensive... 
DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
New ARES II owner here. Just arrived today. LOVE. What made me buy it? Having variety I suppose. My beloved Burson 3R (2x9038q2m) comes pretty close, but the immediacy and increased dynamics on the ARES II is instantly recognizable. OS/sharp, 16/4...

I haven’t noticed any differences myself but others intriguely do, should I say they are delusional or should I give them some credit? I choose the latter, I don’t like to dismiss people experiences, unless at some point I realize they are truly d...

Have you tried HQPlayer?Good question. I have used HQplayer for a brief trial period. The UI is a bit primitive, but it provides a great learning opportunity to study the effects of filter design on sq. Essentially, one is able to simulate interna...

In the age of disinformation, audio marketing has lead the way for many years. I believe in civility and rational discourse, throwing verbal molotov cocktails doesn’t solve anything. Back to the topic and original question: is the amount of $1,400...

It’s really hard to say "how much" of a difference something makes, because of subjective listening habits and inability to measure. I dare to state that the Allo DigiOne Signature is an incredible value for the money. It’s a touch better than the...

At the risk being perceived at being rude again...electronic interference can only affect audio quality at the endpoint where Ethernet packets being converted (decoded) back to the original bit structure of where they entered the transport medium ...

$1,400 seems like a lot of money. I am old-school DIN 45500 educated person with 50+ yrs of audio experience and I have a nice arsenal of inexpensive/expensive gear. Money should be spent on loudspeakers, turntables, DAC's. And NOT on cables, powe... 
Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog?
Wrong question. To think or ask if one medium sounds better than the other implies there is a definitive answer. As you can see from the previous comments, this will never the case :-) A better question to ask, which medium makes you tick more? Wh...
