RE: Comparing DAC's

Posted by PAR on July 1, 2017 at 14:24:31:
Rapid switching between components may reveal differences in sound but will not indicate how good either is musically. In fact it will not necessarily even show which has the best sound. The most important factor is how the DAC plays music which requires more extended listening.

Audio Note's longstanding methodology fails too. What if every slight difference is deliniated clearly yet neither DAC in the comparison gets a single one of your blood corpuscles dancing? Their idea confuses sound with music. They are not the same thing.
