lol maybe we can have the DAC with an extra cable with sticky electro pads, stick to each temple, that starts gently shocking us in stereo after the personalised frequency cut-outs - so we still experience something… I might have to put a Copyrite on that
With respect, I’m not so sure about that …tested this with several people on the same device - the kids heard it all the way up, us adults lost it between 8.5khz, 12khz and me & Wife 13khz
it is what is, we lose hearing ability as we age due to the hair follicles dying …men go bald more often...
Lol …don’t kid yourself, this cheap equipment probably clips after 18khz - iPhone 11 I’ve got and that test works fine all the way up as my daughter and her friend said they heard it all (but was iffy after 18khz)!
…not all doom and gloom, allegedly Scientists are looking into something that...
Have you Gents tried that link (back a few posts) to see where the frequency tapers off, or other tests?
15khz at 51 is impressive, my Wife is 13khz at 52
(FWIW my 77 year old Mum could hear 8.5Khz vs 11yo Daughter 18khz; although she thinks it’s my iPhone limiting the frequencies beyond that because it made a slight ‘pik’ like sound around there and went silent)!
…tried this the other day and was quite shocked that I can only hear just past 13khz :
Before Covid lockdown, it was around 16khz
…not sure a SuperDAC is worth me hunting for anymore
I think this thread needs to stay open until LakeWest produces something/s that we have been waiting for… I’d put £1000 of my hard earned money into this, some others even more…
Merry Christmas all, it’s been nice getting to virtually know everyone over the years! :-)
…I’d just like closure on this DAC if it’s not happening; and the VFET Investors hopefully something tangible, whether it be reimbursement or those 8200MB amplifiers stashed away …it’s the decent thing to do
Thanks Jarek!
I was involved in this near the beginning… it was never intended to be the ultimate DAC, just something better than the MDAC (accurate and ‘full bodied’ I recall) which most of us would be happy with (and an AV Bypass)
John can leave the ultimate DAC for FDAC in my opinion; I...
