Can you educate me with some of Lumins' history? i have been using sony blu-ray players to stream dsd since 2013 and i think the Teac NT503 network dac came out in 2014? Link to comment

Technical evidence I don’t know, but one principle I consider to be of great importance is that it’s better to attempt to NOT let the noise “come in” than to clean it up later down streams. I asked Barrows the same question comparing to the Teac Nt503 about 4 years ago and he couldn't answer and the teac was only about $1k if i remember. I am not convinced it would sound any better than just streaming to a marantz nd8006....put your money in speakers. Link to comment

Surely it can not be understood with something like "noise" only. Reading the Extreme thread on WBF helped me a lot to gain a better understanding. Matt before the dac all that exists is digital music and noise....and the digital music is received perfectly, so nothing left to compensate for besides noise. sandyk 1 Link to comment
