Room is probably the biggest factor and you seem to be dismissing this, leading me to think you dont really know what you are on about... Not with headphones 😉. Frank, well he like to challenge things.... Link to comment

He goes into how a change in sound to you doesnt mean its better. Infact he proves how people are actually wrong when they think a DAc sounds brighter, clearer etc when it actually doesnt. He also touches on Galvanic Isolation in relation to cutting USB noise. First of all he is an independent design consultant, and not employee of Chord. Have been for very long time . Second of all he have never said that the sound can't be bright. The truth is he often says that if the DAC and source sound bright it's because of RFI (which btw is his SQ enemy number 1). Rob even state that if a digital sounds more detailed and brighter it's because of noise and we should seek a smooth and darker sound. Teresa, audiobomber and fas42 1 1 1 Link to comment
Summit Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Expectation bias is so strong that some doesn't even need to hear the gear or system at all to know that it can't affect SQ. PeterSt 1 Link to comment
