In Reply to: Are audio reviews biased? posted by scruffy_ on November 23, 2016 at 09:35:40:
Yes, they all have preferences, Fremer is a vinyl guy, Dudley likes vintage, and Kal prefers surround sound.
The only way to make decisions written by reviewers, is if you have read them for a long time. Then you learn to read between the lines. The reviews on line are the same way, with some exceptions. Those guys you have to see how long they have been writing, and read past reviews of equipment you have heard.
A good sign is when a reviewer buys the piece he has reviewed. Also look for reviews that compare equipment that you have heard, that can tell you if they hear like you do.
You have posted this topic of should you buy a new dac. I don't think you will be content until you try one. You can return it, so even with the restocking fee, just do it.
If it is vocals, I still think a tube preamp that you can try different tubes to find the sound you want, might be your best move, but I would pay attention to the people who posted that know your speakers and/or amp.
I would hope the reviews claiming it to be the best, are saying in it's price range. We all know there is no one best of any component sound wise. It is all about synergy and personal preferences.
