It helps when using terms to understand what they mean and use them properly. Otherwise you make a complete hash of your thought process.
We’re talking about speaker cables. Its super easy to show what complete BS this story is: turning up the volume will increase the signal and the louder you go the more compressed it will be. But you don’t mention this, because its not happening. Because its BS.
There are major differences between cables in terms of dynamics, but its not dynamic range, that is something completely different. Do a search, read the terms, learn them. Something your dealer should do. This is Audio 101 after all.
Geez my O2 sat is barely 95 and already my brain is like warp speed compared to this wanna-bee. The dealer I mean. I don’t expect every audiophile to have learned even this basic stuff. Dealers I hold to a higher standard.
The differences you are hearing, people love to make up all these technical explanations. Nobody really knows the technical explanation. What we do know is the signal is constantly changing in volume. These fast changes are what we call dynamics. They can be massive like when an orchestra swells or micro like when a violin string quivers.
This all happens across a wide range of frequencies. The timing or rate at which each of these different dynamic swings happens can vary tremendously depending on the frequency of the sound getting louder or softer. Each and every individual instrument has its own unique set of characteristics. We call it timbre, we call it timing, we have all these different names for it.
Point being its very hard to get it all just right. Its also very hard to know when it is being done just right. That’s because the exact same problem we hear with this one speaker cable is repeated across every wire and component in our system, and on up the recording chain as well.
What is very easy on the other hand is to hear and notice different little aspects of this very big picture. Lots and lots of guys get sucked into one thing or another.
You like the "hit" that the Siltechs give. Great. Good for you. But there really is nothing the least bit new or different about anything else you have noticed- most especially including the dealer and his cockamamie theories about the dynamic range of your DAC affecting your speaker cable.
Ahh, its good to be back.
Normal "players" or sources chuck out at a dynamic range of 70db. My DCS upsampler/clock/dac sends out at twice that, and the cables may get over saturated with the sound and act differently.
