Yeah, nah, yeah...
I got a unit for a great price since I traded these magical interconnect cables on top of my money stack to it. I don't understand what is so hard to understand in people buying this kind of stuff?
I myself couldn't hear any kind of difference between this and that streamer in the corner of my room (Cambridge Audio SM6 with some Wolfson converters that are also in some kind of cult reputation, do people even know what the chips do and what happens everywhere around the chip? That's not wrong, but you should study also what happens around it to know if it matters who is manufacturing the chip and what are the things it really does but magically throws music in your brains). Still I bought it because that thing in the corner has it's PSU dead. Well, this turns on and off.
I could've gotten a few buck DAC too. Why not? Well, I'm going for a trip soon and the deal, daily eyeing on market prices of everything that has something to do with audio.
Interest in electronics generally.
Need for exacly the I/O capabilities of this thing
Trying out HQPlayer's computer based filtering in NOS mode (which is or isn't pure primal super NOS which could be even talked about in the very limited access NOS table, I don't care that much since I'm just interested trying it out (already I have to say that... oh my god, why or how these things are so hard for some people to understand and I feel just so stupid even writing down all these things since there's a lot of them)).
Just study the product is very uplifting for me, if done in some other way than other that I've already eyed - more so ever.
I know that this unit in this condition will make me money and I don't think that the value will drop soon, so it's an investment too, at least it won't lose me any.
It actually sounds clean which is the important and the only thing that really matters to for me, doesn't take any interference what ever is happening outside, housefire, WWIII or anything like that. No buzzing, hissing or anything but black since that's from where the music starts. I'm not professional so I cannot point out any particular reason this being so much better in this one thing that matters to me compared to other stuff around here in my room but I would point PSU first probably and continue from there (which ironically died from my old digital blaster).
I've not owned R2R DAC.
It stacks nicely with my Feliks Audio Echo 2, like perfectly, it is esthetical that way and gives me huge pleasure.
Why people buy Breitling watch even though they could probably live with some cheap beach watch for some time if they know what to do with it? They both show time, Breitling probably longer and sharper on time but if the other watch works as it should, why someone would pay a morgage scale of money for that watch. They're probably interested in watches. They have possibility to do so. Easthetically pleasing? Diving? Flying?
People have their reasons. If someone has different needs, motivators or possibilities that differ from your's it doesn't mean your calculations and metering scores are wrong. If you like the dongle, you can get one. They're cheap and if you need that, you get that. I'm not interested in your motives as much that I would come here and some what question them.
It's so weird how assumingly grown up people have so narrow view on world and this considers everyone. I'm good with just reading all kinds of crazy talk over the internet but now I had to come continue from the last message.
PS. Also I want to make a scientific test with it since we're here. I read from somewhere that it takes ten ******* days to get it to "it's best", I do openly admit that I'm a little sceptic about that time window. So that's why I will make a documentary of it being on ten days, take the values and see if the TOTL caps take that long to load up to somehow act different. Reason: I'm interested in that, weird, isn't it?
