Amir of ASR admitted 1 cable sounded better than the other. NOT CLICKBAIT

@gdaddy1 I’m not getting any sense of him "I’m just kidding guys"

I am not. The "Ok, not proof of anything " part is exactly that, not proof of anything. But he he did admit the generic cable is better than the Audioquest. Especially in a headphone system like he described. 

But if he was kidding like you said, why include X cable is better than Y cable in a listening test of a review about a power conditioner?

@yyzsantabarbara I have an audio engineer friend. A great guy. And he recommended me a USB cable. He told me nothing about the sound other than that it was better some expensive Audioquest USB. I bought it. I used it. And I told him, the cable is great but it sounded really bright for like 18-20 hours. 

He told me he had the same experience, but his was closer to 24 hrs. What are the odds of 2 people experiencing the same thing from burn-in if burn-in doesn't exist?

I keep telling people man, nowadays, ASR and AVS cannot hear the difference between dacs and amps. Which is so CRAZY. Forget cables, cables don't matter anymore. Who cares about Lochness or Big Foot when the Earth is flat. 

Next the conversation went to on about the much cheaper RME DAC sounding the same as the imersiv D-1.

Lol, the RME ADI-2 DAC broke a record here for how fast this cycle went:
Bought it > unboxed > listened > HATED IT > re-boxed > sold it

I hate the RME DAC with every cell in my body, and I could not even be paid to listen to it. 

When I read the comments on ASR, I start thinking that there is a bit of indoctrination into a measurement cult going on.

To each his own and I think each group is happy in their own way.

@yyzsantabarbara ASR is a funny bunch, they’re all about the data, the measurements, the objectiveness. 

But whenever a new product comes out, they eagerly wait for user subjective experience. Hello? What are they expecting.

Another laughable aspect is, in their world, all the products have exceeded the hearing threshold, every measurements have entered the inaudible zone. All the Topping products for example. What’s the point of a new Topping DAC, a more expensive one, that also exceeds the audible zone. Hello? Are they expecting something new?
