Now my wife is a complete idiot. she mistakes 10 to 15 mistakes a day. So maybe you have had better luck.
What happened? You stopped using AI to compose your responses for you and slipped?
Enter the modern hifi world. Try this test.
HiBy FC1 vs. just about any modern or vintage DAC out there.
Cost? Just around 20 dollars or so.
I doubt anyone will be able to tell a difference with their system.
Let’s assume the following case scenario:
1. same speakers
2. same cables
3. same amplifier
The test:
Use a 3.5mm cable to RCA or balanced in to your preamplifier or integrated amplifier on a spare input.
basically, it’s 2v plus a little extra mw, designed to drive headphones.
If anything it’ll be a bit louder than your system, but fundamentally, you won’t be able to hear any difference between it and any solid-state DAC out there in terms of resolution, detail, timing, or instruments/vocals clarity.
Why? Because digital audio has advanced to the point where we are at its limits, and can shrink down the electronics this small, without sacrificing anything. Just look at how far computers and smartphones have come. Audio reproduction is no different in the digital domain.

@frank009, I'll loan you my spouse for a day. She's used to what my system can achieve but wants to light it up with one switch. Doesn't matter whether it's streaming, a cd, a lp, a cassette, the big screen, a dvd, or FM.... ...and then there's the choice of speaker pairs, to sub or not to sub....eq or not to eq.... ..and now moving and setting up in a smaller space that one can 'overdrive' db-wise to the point of flexing the sheetrock. "As long as it's Absolutely Perfect....." I've tried written instructions...but at least the amp has the sense to go thermal and shut itself down... Reality is a strange beast at best. ;) |
@knock1 - injury of brain matter may not be from external sources. Could be lack of development
You’re really clueless as to this hobby. We build our audio chains based on our own subjective personal sonic preferences, which may be beyond your understanding based on your limited/non-existant experience with high-end Sonics. As such, we don’t need vindication from those outside our hobby |
Seems like you want to play the "tough guy" with your mafia member profile photo. I've seen that guy before on TV, and he's obviously not you. Not even close. Another outlandish post from you. Congrats. Goes to show how far you've come with over 2800 posts. You are like @cleeds , although learning from him on how to pontificate like a witness in a courtroom that has no clue and wants nothing more than to establish some narrative. so BASICALLY what i was saying.... was that if you can get a layperson (meaning a non-audiophile) or someone who, has never heard good stereo equipment APPRECIATE your system, then you've done it. If you can make them feel something, smile, you know, get goosebumps and really fall in love with the performance and appreciate music as a form of art, then your system is transparent enough and you've done well. Sadly, I'm NOT talking about you! |
