@BrokeAudiophileMan - a very good day to you.I'll check out sound on sound. I can only fit so much information in my brain for any given hobby but hopefully I can be more objective with my purchases in the future, as well as information I parrot to others. I've already learned quite a bit just from this conversation. Thanks again!
Sorry for not writing a longer message I'm a bit tied up right now.
Firstly, hats off to you for both your humbleness in apologizing and for wanting to learn; considering different experiences and perspectives isn't always easy to do. With that said, don't hesitate to just "do you". Have fun and enjoy the experience the way you want to. For example, some people enjoy the gear and the collecting side of the hobby as much as they do listening to the music which is perfectly fine, to each their own. There is no wrong or right way
Secondly, coming back to your original post... the following video is a completely different perspective to consider. It is a most excellent introductory lesson to ADC & DAC. The video also offers some interesting opinions and caveats about the hobby. Do I agree with everything that is said? No, of course not but it is presented in such a compelling and well put manner that it is hard to not warrant some careful consideration and reflection.
Thirdly, the greatest bane of forums is that tone and intent both seem to go right out the door and the coldness of text prevails. WIth misunderstanding, arrogance, thoughtlessness, over-sensitivity, and even keyboard rage replacing all normal (natural) modes of communication as if in person. Thus forum discourse is not truly reflective of how we would behave and engage with one another in person, face-to-face... I must always remind myself of this when on fourms.
Cheers!
