RE: It depends on the DAC

Scrith makes a very valid point. Not sure why you can't accept that.

And why are you so confrontational and defensive? You're starting to sound like another inmate here who lashes out if someone's opinion isn't in perfect alignment with his.

"What DACs and what technology in the last two years? How have they made these difference? Who in this conversation is using a bad DAC?"

Improved interfaces including async USB i/o, improved clocks, galvanic isolation, better power supplies. You can read about it here on the Asylum if you take the time. A lot of folks who are on the DAC of the month merry-go-round.

"You keep saying exactly the same thing without ever actually listening. You "hear significant differences" without listening... Very talented..."

B.S., I've listened to several DACs over the years and a few OS's.

"How do different analog stages factor into the discussion?"

Scrith commented on DACs. I commented DAC analog output stages. That's how it factors into this discussion. I'll explain it for you. Different analog output stages in various DACs can sound very different, therefor altering the overall sound of a system. I thought that was pretty basic and something most folks would understand and take into consideration. Maybe not.

"Again... What does this mean? Does the computer need crutches to play music?"

Have you not read some of the disaster stories here about people 'slimming' their PC's to oblivion? Some have been willy nilly slimmed to crippled status affecting the playback of music and basic operation of the computer. I won't name names but one of these boneheads is very active here and many of us know who it is. He also likes to defragment his SSD and recommends it highly to others. A real wiz! ;-)

"You repeat this over and over again. What is the point? What does this have to do with playing music?"

Ah, who's chest beating and repeating over and over again about the virtues of Windows Server 2012 and AudioPhil's Optimizer? Seems we hear about it from you on a weekly basis, at least. We get it. You love Windows Server 2012 and AudioPhil.

By show of hands or a reply post since we're on an internet forum, who here is running Windows Server 2012?

smh, and LOL back at you. Peace.
