In Reply to: It depends on the DAC posted by Scrith on March 30, 2014 at 10:29:47:
You make a good point.
DACs have gotten significantly better at source generated jitter rejection in the past couple years.
Just like other components with an analog output stage, one will hear significant differences among various DACs, more so than the differences among various computers and operating systems, assuming a decent DAC is attached to the computer and the OS isn't hacked to near crippled status.
I am not implying that certain OS optimizers cripple the OS. I am referring to those who willy nilly delete files and kill processes with no clue what they're doing. One inmate crippled his Windows 8 to the point where he was unable to update to Window 8.1, a significant improvement over the original Windows 8.
And for those who habitually misquote posts to strengthen their position, I never said the computer and OS make no difference.
