If anyone over there listened to the DACs and amps they had in front of them, there wouldn't be such silly questions.

It should be Electronics Science Review, because that place has nothing to do with audio.

I need some extra strength Tylenol

"D30 is a joy to listen to" uhh no lol I tried it, it was the most glarey POS of a DAC.

The first step in Amir cult programming is loving the D30. aLl DaCs SoUnD tHe SaMe

Solderdude is doing a good job there. Still the reliable empiricist sceptic that likes taking things apart and measuring what can be measured...

I dunno. Solder seems firmly in the “all DACs sound the same camp.” I don’t remember that from Changstar, but maybe I wasn’t paying close attention then. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/why-is-audio-objectivism-so-frequently-focused-on-all-the-wrong-things.9588/page-6#post-254988

He knows there are more factors. He simply keeps it to himself because he knows a well mastered Jazz recording can make your feet tap regardless of your system's budget. His personal headphone for a long time has been (and likely still is) the HD650. That should tell you enough. He loves music more than his gear but that does not stop him from measuring...

funniest thing to me about that forum is that 1 year ago, it was an echo room of ardent (and I'd admit well informed) fierce empiricists. And thanks to reddit and head-fi, it's now chock fulla idiots and a handful of 6moons hacks. it went from being "if you want one side of the coin..." to meaningless garbage dumpster fire threads a million miles long.

It’s been a victim of its own success. When you tell people that $100 can buy you the greatest DAC or amp ever made, you attract a lot of noobs who don’t know the party line and end up asking “stupid” questions that inflame the veteran Amirites.
