Serious Question: How can DAC's have a SOUND SIGNATURE if they measure as transparent? Are that many confused?

the science truth of yesterday may not be true today
Do you work for a fortune cookie company?
Science works off evidence. No evidence, and you're just one more crank.
well last time I checked.. being open minded is more productive in science then a rigid mindset. imagine testing techniques 200 years from now
It's gems like this which make me lean toward "dishonest." Not that I would know anything about science, of course.
Hi @1roger, "silly mindset" reporting for duty!
Your argument would may work if we were talking about some science we just explored and don't know much about...
However, I'm afraid there's not much less to discover in digital/analogue converters. If you claim there's something left we still don't know how to measure in there... Then, tell me: how manufacturers are designing their products exactly? Magic, soul, prayers, luck? How they would design electronics with yet to be discovered basics? "Things", that hopefully they would put in their designs by accident?...
Sorry, this doesn't make any sense to me...
Ah, a Truther...
How do you think scientific truth is established?
by evidence^^ ..and most of the time the `evidence` at hand happen to be incorrect ot misused in some manner. science.... spend the vast majority of its time being wrong. until the people working with the problem get it right. that is what most people don`t get
Unverified and uncontrolled subjective perception is not evidence.

finally a sensible post. you are probably correct. by unless the enthusiast `experts` on here happen to work on dac`s or whatever hifi equipment for a living. well lets say I simply don`t take their word for gospel. nor should anyone else
I guess 35+ years of digital signal processing (along with audio) doesn't count.
No, science spends the vast majority of its time being mostly right, and refining the edges of knowledge. Audio DACs are nowhere near that edge - we mostly figured them out by the 1980s.
people should seperate between stating something as an `outright lie` and `not proven` people who hear sonically differences doesn`t claim to have evidence for it
you are joking right?
My usual response is not to call it a lie, just respond with "your subjective, unverified perception is noted, but useless to us". We often shorten that to "uh-huh" here.
Not at all. As an example, Newton's theory of gravitation wasn't wrong, it just doesn't apply in some special circumstances.
I believe the first commercial digital recording has been released in the dawn of 70's. So it's more like a 50 years old technology, nowadays.
They use their ears as the only evidence they need, or should need...for anyone...ever. Oh...and the ears of the guy who makes money when you buy it from him, or from his review...you believe him more than the AP analyzer too I suppose.
