What Hifi component should be the first priority?

They will never be completely flat, that's just not going to be possible also, you are ignoring the fact that manufacturers will often apply filtering (e.g. high frequency roll-off) to modify the output.

You really need to take off those barn door sized blinkers. You are entitled to have your own point of view but, you are not entitled to, effectively, assume that anyone who disagrees with you, is always wrong and therefore stupid.

You have an opinion, that's all it is. You have to learn to understand that not everyone will share your opinion and, that does not mean that they MUST be wrong.

Look at the measured frequency responses of DACs. They are *amazingly* flat. Investigate things before commenting on them, please!

OK the actual DAC chip may be very close to flat but, you are never listening to just the DAC chip. The way the DAC is implemented, with the other circuitry and components, together with how that is all tuned, does affect the sound, there is no getting away from it.

I’m taking a break from this forum, before I say something that gets me banned and, I’ve had enough of banging my head againts a wall of wilful ignorance.

No. DACs are measured at the outputs on the back of the device - the RCA or balanced outputs. They are *not* measured at the chip outputs! Please check these things before replying. I must have to tell people think every couple of months on here.

And AI ears liked your post and I'm pretty damn sure he must have seen me explain this before. It blows my mind this kind of thing, seriously.

I have one person on ignore and it's THAT one, and this thread has been fine with their "contribution" hidden from me.

Some people can't be reasoned or debated with and by denying them any interaction, their trolling will soon head to a different forum.

I'm not trolling.

Trolls all sound the same. I can show you the graphs.

The trolls have certainly entered the chat now...

There's a wealth of evidence showing that expecting bias and placebo are very real. Especially in acoustics.

Yes....and....

Don't let anyone get to you. You have decent contributions to make, and I for one like reading what you have to say. In the end, it doesn't make any difference to anything, what any of us think. Stay put dude. 👍🏻

Yes absolutely.

Never any need to ignore anyone.
Everyone has a point to make, even if we don't agree with it - like the desperate remainer that (semi-diplomatically) labelled me as a racist in the Brexit debate.
