No streaming. No ethernet. And yet such strongly held and oft expressed views on precisely these topics.Ah you see, in a world of pointlessly complicated digital hifi that might make sense, but in my music room it's just mac - usb cable - dac. No streaming, no server, no ethernet, no network connection. Just mac and dac, that's it, all be it with big ole ssd.
No proof, no measurements, no acknowledged method of action, yet you also strongly and frequently express your own opinions on the suitability of the kit you sell.
Luckily for you ignorance is bliss.
I don't require an overly complicated digital set up to know I don't need it. I have no desire to stream, no need for ethernet, or an expensive optical bridge to remove the noise I don't have.
The edge of audibility is not where I operate.I'm sure all your customers are perfectly happy with their purchases, they wouldn't have bought it otherwise. Like many others I don't think my ears are measurement devices, so rely on measurements to prove where differences exist on the edge of audibility.
Corrected to "computer".It's a desktop
Hint: all digital devices are computers of sorts, but not all computers are audio devices. A mobile phone is a computer but it hardly counts as an audio device…. to anyone with even a smidgen of appreciation of high quality sound.
I’m sure it did. I used various setups myself on train journeys (Dunu Zen IEMs, iFi hipDAC2) and the combo sounded great but (a) it’s not proper hifi and (b) not exactly a use case relevant to networked domestic audio. Especially so if used offlineReally, battery powered with powerful 2/4/6 core CPUs and GPUs?
When I used to commute on the train I used an iPhone with a Fiio E12 and Sennheiser Momentum1 over ear headphones with Qobuz offline and it sounded excellent.
but t’s not proper hifi
