Everything I read, says today's DAC's are so good, you really have to have bat ears to hear a difference.
What's what on the what?
???
I read and one side says, there's a huge difference between different DAC's. Others write, let the circuitry be your guide and others still say, you have to buy into the $4-5k range for there to be a noticeable difference.
???
Spec wise, the ASUS STX DAC (Burr-Brown PCM 1792A) knocks it out of the park with it's 129 dB SNR and it's 0.0004 THD. Does one really need to get a separate DAC such as the Audio-gd "Reference 7." How good is the STX DAC? Should one simply port over to a separate high-end headphone amp from the STX and call it a day or does one "really" need a separate DAC to process their music?
