Yeah, basically. I mean there might be some feature differences. Maybe one can put out higher voltage than another. Maybe there's a prettier case here or there. But perhaps you are realizing now that if the dac ain't broken physically or in design, it probably sounds identical to the next dac. Sinad limit of a cd is only 96db, and cds can sound awesome.Based on your logic, if I want to use the DAC only for listening to music, as all those SIX DACs you listed sound EXACTLY THE SAME, one should be absolutely CRAZY and/or STUPID to pay $10,000 for a MOLA MOLA or $2,000 for a MATRIX AUDIO X or even $699 for a Topping D90, when a Sabaj D5 for just $500 sound exactly the same.
Who in his right mind would like to pay $8,000-9,000 for a MOLA MOLA DAC? Are bragging rights that expensive!?
