Popular Post baldr Posted September 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2021 Hey there – just a couple of comments. Can’t resist it. The boards were all made with my best efforts. None were gimped or boosted. It was an exercise in making a better Yggy. The DACs were initially picked for an apparently better attribute (better specs below minus 100db, loooooooooooow INL and DNL). Even after I found out the prevalent irrelevance of specs to sound like it is in the wild, the surviving DACs to all have “good” specs for those who listen with their eyes distracted with graphs. I realize that I cannot please all – the variety of boards offer options. I build gear to recreate a musical experience which is a major source of near spiritual pleasure/emotion in my life. I have heard everyone from Joplin to Hendrix to Mahler to Wagner live in multiple venues. I do this because I fucking love it. I am not an evangelist – this is not the only way. Many can be happy with a Modi or what my many competitors build. I sell what sounds good to me, even if it a hundred bucks. I do have a creed; my orthodoxy is multibit for best audio pleasure. So much so that I almost believe my worst multibit is better than the best delta sigma. Therefore, I am now working on better software based delta sigma DACs in an attempt to prove myself wrong. We’ll see what happens - I still have a lot to do. Meanwhile, I am still skeptical of measurements below about minus 70db or so. I can’t believe in mosquito farts’ audibility in the context of jet engines. Seems like a hand job to me. Seems to me that common sense trumps bad science. I’ll sign off with a word of appreciation to all those who support this industry – I’d be hungry without it. askat1988, feelingears, R1200CL and 8 others 7 4 Link to comment
