Floss after you finish that one, or your dap will sound muddy. :wink_face:
I've recently heard really nice systems owned by other people. One guy was a dealer and had a $100,000 system and was comparing it to a $75,000 magna planar (?) system in the next room.
I tell you, it all sounded like nothing I have ever heard before... But I had no way of measuring the sound I was enjoying! To further complicate things, the host was serving beer and had lava lamps instead of viewing proper meters! I had to leave when I noticed the incense sticks...
Why would somebody have such a system if they could not demonstrate and verify that it sounds better than the system they have at Best Buy for a tenth of the cost? All of the people listening were potential buyers of this equipment and had jobs so I'm guessing they weren't exactly rich.

Can one explain to me what makes a dual DAC system theoretically sound better than a single DAC one? I understand how balanced amps MIGHT provide better performances than their single-ended counterparts, but the benefits of dual-DAC systems elude me.
I just thought there might be some apps in the Apple or Android stores where could have the computers "hear" for the audiophiles and then give non- opinionated facts about the sound.
My guess is some type of app to try to do this can be created but I don't think people will ever agree that any one app can give non-opinionated facts about sound (imho that's a good thing - it would be so boring if everyone even thought they heard the music the same way - that could even shut down this forum :eek: ).
