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.

I’m still curious about the Bentley and the wealth and I’m sure we are all on the edge of our seats waiting for you to post photos of your own system. You being so wealthy and all.

I have already received hate mail from other members who are poor. So that would not be a good idea. is it MY FAULT they are poor? No. 

 Those who heed my advice and knowledge and respect me are the ones who deserve it. Most do not. Well, not here anyway.

Another pearl of wisdom from Frank. Right out of the arrogant know-it-all school of thought in another forum (we all know which one).

Audio reproduction is no different in the digital domain.

What a naive and fundamentally flawed way of thinking!

Lordy, is this nonsense still going on?

My mind bogglingly stupendous intellect has been thinking about this for minutes and here’s what it came up with:

Whomever initiated this little frank human/bot experiment was the initial thread starter and poster. The human ’frank’ posted like an intolerable jackass to get traffic flowing to his threads. Mission accomplished. When he was satisfied he had a large enough audience, he switched over to Chatbot ’frank’ and studied the outcome. You can plainly see when it happened as the two posting styles are crazy different. The lies and arrogance were replaced by robotic, generic posts. Now that everyone’s caught on, whomever started this is now co-mingling the two to throw us off. You'll also note tons of his posts being deleted that don't fit the new narrative.

Nice try, ’frank’!
