In Reply to: RE: +2 swapping out DACs outside of a reference point posted by Sordidman on July 01, 2015 at 09:05:25
If one throws into the equation different media types this can be helpful. But there may be pitfalls.
If one's speakers in one's room are too bright this may make some DACs sound hopeless. Switching to a vinyl rig that is itself rolled off may alleviate the problem and the conclusion might be that the problem was the DAC, whereas it might have been elsewhere. It might even have been that the system itself was OK, but the recordings used in the testing had problems.

Tony,
You can always come up with these type of issues but hopefully one uses varied music and is familiar with what they're listening to. Also you would hope that the individual understand their system and its shortcomings before they make drastic decisions. Not every vinyl system has to be rolled off, nor one speakers bright. I would hope that if someone lives with the system they have built one to their taste and can make intelligent choices when adding to it.
Indeed, hopefully one knows what one is doing. However, getting to this point requires a certain amount of listening, studying, and the experience of making mistakes.
