Thank you very much for your good advices and nice words. I know very well in which forum I am and I respect it. I am learning a lot from the forums. My experience is however based on listening, not through the forums, but at home in the same room and conditions. Is it ABX? Not. But I would not say that an equipment is crap without listening to it. If you are so sure that ElementX will outperform a TotalDAC, you should try the experience yourself.
Here again, to share an experience, I had the opportunity to listen to PS Audio at home and didn’t like it (sorry no ABX). The perception was the same presented by Amir through his own listening experience.
Without any intention to offend you, but why do you think anyone here would be interested in your subjective listening experience with TotalDAC vs Element X or Linn vs Naim CD player when the only thing you used in that evaluation were your personal preferences?
Stating that you equally liked TotalDAC and Element X or that you liked Linn streamer more than Naim CD player is to me equivalent that you said that you prefere green socks over red. I can only say: glad you found what you like, but where exactly is real contribution in that? Or you think that community of this forum might really benefit from your choices based on your preference? Should we now all consider wearing green socks? Are you supposed to be some kind of a trend-setter when it comes to DACs?
Even if you would be a formally trained listener (which I suspect you are not), your preferences based on sighted listening tests would be of no or very little value to anyone here.
