when I asked MISKA what are differences in the audible range, he is exaggerating to say they are VAST.

 

Can you share a link to this post of @Miska ?

i laid out clear assumptions::

1.  All hardware (besides DAC) is the same

 

Yeh he said “Point is that the analog output from both DACs is not the same”

 

He’s not talking about what differences can and can’t be heard. He’s saying he can show measurements that the DACs will have different analogue outputs.

 

There’s nothing controversial about this.

 

The controversy is all in what differences can and can’t be heard (when looking at measurements above 20kHz) but I’m not going there. That topic has been bashed on every audio forum for years.

Here you can see that within about 100 dB range, 1.4112M PCM through R2R section and DSD through the DSD section produce similar image levels on this DAC, so we can reach at least decent RedBook reconstruction.

 

 

Hi @Miska

 

Can you explain what you mean by the 100dB range because there's a lot of spikes in between -74dB and -102dB
