Yeah and sputnik was in space thanks to the metric system before that. By the way the germans whom 'murica poached to get their rockets working where also using metric. But I guess your engineer were good at translating in schiit-tons of powaaa.- frenchbat

Thoughts on a bunch of DACs (and why delta-sigma kinda sucks, just to get you to think about stuff)
Funny, because the details are there, but the treble is definitely not emphasized compared to the DAC1. As to the test, it's your claim, not mine. I personally don't need it.- frenchbat

Details and ambiance cues are not a coloration, but regardless, if you consider there's a coloration, how would it be possible to not hear a difference ?- frenchbat

how much money are you willing to bet ? Set the test, I'll take it. Hint, I have a Dac1 hdr and a theta dspro genV- frenchbat

We already suggested that, but it didn't seem to be satisfying unfortunately.- frenchbat

@JCX Well they actually did hear a difference since they supposedly corrected the volume matching later. Additionally they actually managed a 100% result on the Daft Punk track, but it didn't seem to satisfy them so they redid another test which failed, I'm still scratching my head on that...- frenchbat

Thought you had 10k in headphones. When it comes to speakers I'm not qualified sorry :) . As to the test, this is the straw that breaks the camel's back : What ? 77Ohms and they couldn't hear a difference on the HD800 ? These guys are either deaf or they don't know how to connect their...- frenchbat

Simple, a 1,5db difference is not trivial. Just try to EQ your bass 1,5db at 100Hz and tell me if there's no difference. No need for a blind test, it's gonna pop out. The fact they missed this means they've screwed up something down the line. Now when it comes to me making a test, I don't...- frenchbat

If you think that comparing apples to oranges is a sound scientific method, I'd like to have a word with your science teacher. But to each his own. Not my concern. Still it would have been easy to redirect all streams to the DAC2's amp. How about the imperfect volume matching ? Impedance ? ...- frenchbat

Wait, what ? You think that using different amps (in this case integrated headout) to compare DACs is A-OK as a methodology ? Seriously ...- frenchbat
