| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? There are some reviewers who compare multiple dacs against each other. the reality is all DACs sound different and there is good and bad in each of the technology approaches.

| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? Good quality spades for best sound. Bananas for convenience but poor sound. The tight screw down compression of a spade is always better than loose banana slip in connection. Just don’t be a dummy and let the spades short/touch. | |
