No sound colours either :) I actually like these for tweaking the sound.

Very true And :D

The effect is overemphasized with the instrument (in this case a guitar), but that sheen is often seen/heard in much recorded material played back on modern DACs. And can be what people think to be that digititus that’s present. As you say analogue whatever, tape, LP may not be capable of it...

Yes. Some call it like a sheen on the music, it makes things sound digital. The older analogue stuff was absent of it. It's like an added bad distortion that digital can bring. Same principle as this. Of course, modern Hi-Fi's don't come with real time parametric EQ's though. Certainly not to...

It's not exactly a dip between those frequencies, it's actually a very fine reduction on each of those exact individual frequencies (whatever they were somewhere around there). I've played with this on a parametric EQ and with a very fine tooth cut these digititus frequencies can almost be...

So does this guy. He also subjectively explains his digititus, as he hears it.

Analogue sound is in there underneath, there's just a lot of extra stuff that sometimes comes with the higher resolution. Some people call it digital fizz. It can actually sound a little annoying if its not kept under control. I was wondering if these things take out those higher frequencies...

Here’s a good little tip for the guys who don’t like digititus. Listen to an analogue recorded sound and played back on an analogue medium. Via a good DAC, which most are these days, and you’ll get the analogue sound that sounds so lush. Because it's mainly nice distortion that people are...

That's what I thought! :)

Any ideas what the magic is explained :) https://www.decwareproducts.com/pills

Well, some do :)

I think preference ultimately wins over measurements. Building a system that covers the audio spectrum isn’t particularly difficult or doesn’t even have to cost anywhere near mega bucks either, regardless of the ‘high-end gear’ that’s out there. There are so many factors that influence the sound...

hear! hear! :)

ok, thanks. And that email came through straight away, but It's so inconsistent. Yes, I've checked the spam folder. I don't know why it does this, it's very off-putting. The same happened with another forum, and we never got to the bottom of it. I'd love to stay up to date with instant emails...

And everything is checked to receive emails as well.

I have the opposite, can anyone shed any light on this for me please? I am subscribed to emails on all threads, but I don’t get any. Apart from the odd one or two that come through. By the time I get an email, it’s about x number of posts down, and I’m not kept up to date as the thread...

Plus they look absolutely elaborate and ridiculous, but beauty is subjective as well of course :)

Yep, brainwashing, marketing BS, and being a luxury piece of consumer goods. There’s no need for it really other than our own personal indulgences. And something from your local Curry’s is more than sufficient really for listening to recorded music or radio. But no as with everything we go too...

Naim DAC please. The big one. As many are aware, Naim stockpiled a load of chips because they were uber special and discontinued. PCM1704K. They have been in the flagship players of Naim for years and in this DAC. The DAC itself would be enough, but be interesting to hear the thoughts if it...

As you can see, this man has a good system, and the ratio seems to work! :) As the great poet John Lydgate once said once said - “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.” :D
