Hi,
So what does musical DAC mean? what about flat DAC?
I know that musical DAC is referring to a DAC with warm and inviting sound signature and the flat is honest and natural with no colour at all. BUT does this even exist?!!
DAC is converting 0 1 to electric analog signal, so all it does is converting a specific value from a specific format to another format, DONE!
1- How come some DACs add colour or musicality?
2- Why some people prefer musical DAC?
3- Shouldn't they leave the colouring/warmth task to the the Amp OR headphones?
If the DAC is adding warmth, the tube amp is adding warmth and the headphones sound signature is missing with the music as well, so what is left is a missed up music that has nothing to do with the real record.
