I can see that I have quite a bit of homework to do. I was also thinking of looking into a Dac to improve what I am putting into my studios. That is a whole other world I am trying to learn about. I want to thank everyone for sharing their expertise. I would like to know how some become so knowledgable on high end audio.

I would like to know how some become so knowledgable on high end audio.

Easy answer:

1. Trial and Error. (We've bought, (and sold!), a fair amount of equipment, (and so have our circle of friends), so that between all of us, we've learned what works, and what doesn't, by listening to an "inordinate" amount of equipment over the years!)

FYI:
Definitions of inordinate (adj)
in·or·di·nate [ in áwrd'nət ]

1.excessive: beyond reasonable limits in amount or degree

2.unrestrained: showing a lack of restraint or control

Synonyms: excessive, undue, unwarranted, immoderate, extravagant, unreasonable, disproportionate, unconscionable, exorbitant

At least that's my answer, and I'm sticking to it!
