thanks! The point is the best Dac in the world is only as good as the best amp in the world. And currently if you’re a speaker listener, $20 can get you a Dac that can achieve the best possible performance from any speaker amplifier on the market today. Most people on this forum don’t realize this. Which is why it’s important from an educational perspective. As this is a science forum, it’s beneficial for all members to understand what actually matters, and what will result in pissing money in the wind, for absolutely no measurable benefit.
