The DAC scam

[Al ears]

Yeah Heinz beans are stupidly sweet.

I think this thread has been well and truely canned......

What a Shocker, it has to be a SCAM, Heinz Beans fails the Telegraph Taster Test but Lidl beans are rated highly

BBC Good Food "experts" rate Heinz and Aldi as the best and Lidl a bit behind. Though Aldi being 99p cheaper than the Heinz at Sainsbury, I know which I'd choose.

(You do realise the Nisbet's is a catering tin of over 6 times of normal Heinz size?)

I finally watched this video and I agree with everything he says. All the silicon chippery and power regulation parts, in a nice case and with a display, should cost no more than a few hundred quid. The very expensive products use the same DACs as cheaper ones. Expensive 'DACs' are the sane as expensive cables, snake oil and a true waste of money.

Another great video:

If you could give us some detail of the different DACs you've personally tested over a reasonable period of time in your home environment, how you volume matched them and how you managed to play the exact same source to each of them, would love to her more about it.

I trust the professional and technical people in these videos to do that for me. I'd rather trust their views and opinions than many of the wackos on this forum.

So then why buy seperate DACs and not rely on ones in integrated amps?
