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.

This guy is not me. Seriously. You've got to stop posting this @ditusa It's not funny. It never was. You are only making yourself look immature. |
So, Frank, why are you here? Your beliefs are sacrosanct, claimed to apply universally with zero proof offered. Yet any differing belief is dismissed by you in various ways. Hearing can't be trusted, Snake oil. Audiophiles are easy to fool. Lack of knowledge. Manufacturers lie. Just to name a few of your discussion techniques also sprinkled with passive-aggressive behavior. You are not offering anything 99% here have not heard and discussed ad infinitum. Believe a $5 cable or $20 dongle is good enough for you all day long. Does not guarantee it is good enough for all. None of your business how much or how little anybody else spends to reach good enough for them |
