Review and Measurements of Totaldac d1-six DAC

[boXem]

That is certainly true for politics and religion, but sex is not about power.

Just kidding .

Should I be proud that my posts in this quite sensitive thread were about camping, sex and care bears?

I was waiting for someone to photoshop that one and make it the meme of the month.

Now that's we call a NOSE DAC. Measurements say it all, and the roll-off is there to prevent you from seeing the liar.

Yeah, I think you should.

I'm proud of you.

 

[Krunok]

I'm proud of you.

I'm looking at those sunglasses of yours and I'm wondering if they had a similar model for men..

I don't get this. How is sex related to politics and religion?

I don't think they meant that those things were necessarily related, but just that they thought those topics weren't appropriate for the forum.

(I don't know if they are or not, I'm just saying I think @Nikke may have been misunderstood here.)

I know, I was just kidding.

Btw, while this is true for politics and religion I think sex is always appropriate. As is discussion about Thomas sunglasses.

Audio subjectivism is a religion and we talk about that all the time!

Good point.

I guess manufacturers hiding true specs can also be considered as politics.

But let's get back to sunglasses - are these the same model as ones Thomas is wearing?

 

[boXem]

Just saw Thomas' new avatar. I feel a bit guilty now .

 

[Nikke]

It looks much better.
Glad to have contributed, even though not quite as intended.

@amir will you review the totaldac d1-seven?

The d1-seven DAC has been created for the seven-year anniversary of Totaldac.
It was made to be the far best sounding one-box DAC in the Totaldac range together with its brother the d1-direct, making them very special in the Totaldac range.
The d1-seven has 3.2V RCA ouputs and 6.4V XLR balanced ouputs for the best versatility, to be connected to all preamps, all integrated amps but also directly to most power amps.

"The totaldac D1-seven offers an uncanny ability to convey music’s most intimate details in a total package of stunning realism. In other words, things sound like they sound in real life—all rich, glorious, intimate, and stunning. What’s more, music unfolds into a sound image that is Barn-filling, of course this is recording-dependent, in such a way as to invite us into the performance, outside space and time (that’s a big deal)." Michael Lavorgna, twitteringmachines.com

The question is though: do everything in real life sound rich, glorious, intimate and stunning to begin with?
For example when someone flushes the toilet?

i really do envy the level of imagination certain “reviewers” have when they evaluate equipment, i do wonder how much comes from the posterior orifice

Translation: The D1-seven will sound "better" in most comparative listens due to the way higher output voltage than usual... Or they should have said: "Up to 3.2V and 6.4V"...

Wait, are we talking about sex again?!

 

[pjug]

"music unfolds into a sound image that is Barn-filling "

ML could have more accurately said "music that echoes throughout my barn"

Saw 40K times... This is crazy. Probably crasier than the "Yggrasil drama" last summer.
