What in your mind represents real technological advancement.


To be a real advancement the technology must improve the sound quality. Just extending the bass or the high end can't be call an advancement if it doesn't sound better. If the bass goes " lower " but is muddy or the highs go higher but are " bright and forward and irritating " then that does not improve the listening experience. So the question is what improvements make a speaker more enjoyable to listen to.

Well my wife's meditation room is directly behind my sound room so she might object to those nasty back waves..........the down side...

There have been tremendous improvements in DAC's and I think many recording companies are now realizing that they need to record with a higher level of integrity Not just more bass but cleaner, more focus, better separation of voices and instruments, better sound depth and width.

I like DAC's but I have not started streaming with Tidal. How is the music selection?

That is an excellent thought and I think along with higher bandwidth one could not argue that the sound quality would not be improved...

DAC's have really come a long ways and really are moving us forward in a productive way that allows more people to enjoy high quality and even extremely high quality music.....
I think a real advancement is the placement of the renderer in the DAC thus allowing a very simple file to be sent via options such as wifi to be sent to the DAC and then opened and played. The significance it seems would be that the music rendered is not required to be sent over the internet/wifi to the DAC rather simply the data. 

Any thoughts on this?
Hey guys, we can't forget to take our meds. they are said to reduce those symptoms....

Your subversive anti-fuse "rant" for lack of a better word,  has really set me off. Fuses are one of the most important "links" to more realistic audio, invented by none other then William Bickford in 1831, a land mark year to celebrate audio....you have blown my fuse and that is not easy to do......it is a slow blow 20 amp, recently upgraded with audiophile circuits. 
If you have any respect for William Bickford please retract your inflammatory  and not totally accurate review. 
Thank you in advance......not prematurely I am sure. 
Like any cult they talk about transformation and all they ask from you is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
