Haloxt, I need some interconnects for my dac and amp. What would you recommend?

Which will never happen, after fifty years of audiphoolery we still don't have a positive DBT. Not a single one. This could all be over in a couple hours if one golden-eared individual would just take a damn DBT which according to their own accounts would be very easy. |

Each to his own pair of ears and taste of sound. This argument can be extended to any aspect of audio. There are many people who can't make out any real difference between the sound coming out of the laptop and say a $2000 DAC+AMP combo! You try to explain soundstage, bass-control, impedance matching, 24bit 192Khz or whatever..they will say it sounds all the same or maybe they will say now that you said it, yeah I notice something ! I wouldn't be surprised if some of them think of us 'audiophiles' the same way the 'cable non-believers' think of 'cable-believers'. |
