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.
And... might I add to anyone else who suggests I am "wrong" to try the test I am proposing first, before reaching illogical and senseless conclusions that have no basis in objective reality. It's one thing to feel insecure because you spent too much money on your stereo and not your children's education; and another thing feel insecure because you need forum friends to stand up for you and accept your ideas; no matter how ridiculous. |
says you after posting this…
yeah I’m classless. Sure Hey you’ve been a member here for only a few days and you already posted 2 useless, trolling cable discussions, one of which was removed. Now you continue to troll but it’s with a dongle DAC that apparently sounds amazing via a 3.5mm to RCA adapter cable, and competes with any modern DAC. You must live in some kind of multiverse. Or have a case of temporary insanity. This is all the troll chow I’ll give you. Have fun. I’m done here.

Yes, I did say the above and you quoted me verbatim. It is frustrating or rather disappointing to have a wife like her. You have no idea what I have had to go through. She used to be normal when we met, but she become extraordinarily clumsy and difficult after her and I married. She threatened to sue me or make false allegations against me when I suggested divorce; and I don’t want any trouble. No problem. My system keeps me happy and she spends all her time making silly mistakes anyway. Thank God or whatever you believe in that YOU don’t have to deal with this. Again, you have the nerve to call me a troll without trying the test for yourself. 3.5mm to RCA is an UNBALANCED signal, and works the same way as standard RCA to RCA cables that are commonly found on most audio electronics. Seems you don’t even know that. BALANCED connections with XLR connectors are commonly used for microphones and pro audio/PA/broadcast grade gear; and I doubt you’ve even seen your fair share of REAL WORLD systems and PROFESSIONAL audio environments; living in your pretentious self righteous audiophile bubble, with a probably very average-performing mid-fi system; believing you've reached the peak. Keep telling yourself that....else reality is a tough pill to swallow. This goes to show you are afraid of the results. So you must be the troll here. Try the test yourself, follow what I’ve written to a tee, then we’ll see whose right and who is wrong.
