It is 2022. I can't understand why we still don't have scientific answers to these audiophile debates
"Do X and Y DACs sound different ?" is not really a subjective question. This is a scientific question with a certain answer, we just don't know the answer yet.
There are three possible outcomes.
1- There are no measureble sound differences between these DACs. So they sound the same.
2- There are measureble differences, but it is outside of human hearing so they sound the same.
3- There are measureble differences in human hearing range, so they sound different.
Again, this question has an objective answer. With sufficent measurement equipment and a good experiment, we can figure it out. Why do we keep having subjective debates about objective questions ?
