Downloaded the sQ demo but the bloody thing is asking me for an activation and doesn't seem to have a demo option. :confused:

In few words: The OP bravely admitted that he was unable to distinguish the five or six very different DACs he thoroughly compared so far.

There is a very interesting thread going on there: http://www.head-fi.org/t/689783/december-2013-mid-level-dac-comparison

I owned the octave, MDAC, Arcam Trac and Dacmagic. They all sounded slightly different in isolation but when volume matched and Fed the same signal, neither me nor my friend were able to detect when the dac was changed. That was through headphone using a Topping TP60, which has a electronic...

For those into headphones there is a Head-fi meet sponsored by Sennheiser in April in central London. ;) More info there: http://www.head-fi.org/t/651226/london-meet-saturday-27th-april

I am free that weekend :). I can bring my MDAC with me if you want.

Sold my Octave Metrum to Allan Probin. Fast and courteous transaction. A pleasure to deal with. Thanks again Allan. ;-)

I am not ashamed to admit I was deluded and a fool for going through five DACs in less than a year. But yes!, I feel better now , and I sincerely wish you and everybody else could feel the same. ;) That the only reason why I bother replying to your posts.

All those people claiming they hear differences are becoming very tiring. I 've also heard heard differences..until I properly tested things.

Sounds more like people hearing what they want to ear. Occasionally I thought I detected a difference and thought A sounded better than B only to realise I was listening to B :D

Interesting. So how did you come to that conclusion? Can you detail a bit more your methodology? PS: When my mate dropped his Dacmagic, I swapped my MDAC for the Dacmagic and really like its analogue sound although I was convinced it was not as detailed as the MDAC. Sadly proper testing seem to...

Might well be :D Not everybody is as gifted or has ears as clean as yours ;)

No worries. I am well aware from your numerous posts that logic and critical thinking is not your forte. :p
