We cannot say everything is in the brain. To me it's more probable because lot of people actually hear differences. I think that some new test could change the done.Īnd could explain why some hear differences. Some people just want to enjoy their music and when they are not satisfied by dacs choosen only with measurements they ve no choice other than to trust their ears.Īctual tests show things that are in most of cases unhearable so it's legitimate to wonder why we need those tests. As not test show ultrasonics garbage we cannot be sure that the difference is not from this.Īop react differently to ultrasonic so does capacitors etc. Instead of this asr say all dacs sound the same. Showing this could explain differences heared. If you hide this on measurements you don't show one very important thing of the dac.Īnd also it's obvious that this amount of garbage is not the same with different samplerates as the digital filter cut of freq is function of fs/2. Modern dac all are composed of a delta sigma modulator.Īnd for delta sigma it's very important to filter the noise (ultrasonic) genrerated by the delta sigma modulator. I find inacceptable that asr say that testing how much ultrasonic garbage remains is pointless. How do you guys decipher the information and use it to benefit you and your music. It hasn't arrived yet, it hasn't even shipped yet so probably on order. I bought the RME on the strength of the measurements taken by and the many positive comments on it. I've been told by a couple of members in here that the RME is a quality DAC and I don't doubt it but how do you know what DAC is right when you're as inexperience as me! I don't use headphones and my music taste is varied but I like accuracy and tight bass.Ĭan you just buy any DAC and be done with it? Which DAC would suit these speakers or am I looking at this in the wrong way? I have just ordered an RME ADI-2 DAC which is AKM "velvet sound" but is it right for me? How are their DAC's different in sound signature? My Arcam has a Cirus Logic CS42528 and my OPPO has a "velvet sound" 32bit AKM.
I'm aware of ESS, Burr Brown, Cirus Logic and AKM but know nothing of their individual characteristics. Thats where this DAC journey began and I feel its an unending journey as I'm 6 months in and still know nothing!Ĭan anyone explain why DACs sound so different? I was instantly hooked on this and wanted to know why the change and HOW did the change occur. It was only when I hooked up some RCA cables from the OPPO to the analogue RCA's of the Arcam that I noticed a rather significant change in sound quality and sound signature.
I thought I was listening to the OPPO.ĭon't laugh, it's true, that's what I thought! To explain my inexperience, using my OPPO UDP 203 via Coax to my Arcam SR250. I know nothing of how a DAC is meant to sound and it was only recently that I realised that I was actually listening to one in the form of my amplifier. I'm new to this site and am a bit bewildered by not only the sheer choice of DAC's available on the market but their use and type as far as chipset is concerned.
