Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Not Surprising........

"Todd,,, you purchased a DAC " because it was a sound design on paper ", Is it not difficult to find synergy between components based on that method?"

Look at the alternative, if you have to start by ordering unheard would you choose something that, based on the best data available, appeared to be poorly designed and implemented?

Synergy is about dealing with all those unspecified and possibly uncontrolled variables which can still affect your sound. It's existence simply means that the components of a home audio system are inadequately characterized and controlled, it doesn't mean that worse measurements mean better sound.

I have been contemplating that very DAC for the same reasons as Todd. The Specs. look good, the layout and packaging look reasonable and the designers have a history of doing a good job on these sorts of products. And most importantly, users like it.

Buying audio gear is always a bit of a crapshoot, but having the perverse belief that good Specs. mean bad sound is playing with the dice weighted against you.
