Serious Question: How can DAC's have a SOUND SIGNATURE if they measure as transparent? Are that many confused?

They're not going to see it, and it's fun to ridicule ridiculous, anonymous people who believe nonsense. No one gets hurt.

I agree that there are better uses of time, though.

There is?

But this is the circle jerk thread!

Precisely. So I recommend everyone jerk away. This is the correct thread. For a serious audio topic, check any of the other thousands of threads.

Yeah. And if the trolls are so miffed, they are free to go away.

Building trenches instead of bridges. -Not just in this thread.

And being called a troll when pointing it out..

Given how often ASR gets people who argue in bad faith and claim the obviously absurd, I can't say a bridge would work for such trolls. Better to leave a troll in a trench than leave a bridge over its head.

Go ahead, build a bridge.

And then go live under it . /rimshot

Simply listeners with limited technical knowledge, who have adopted a fallacy and then sought like minded folk to reinforce, the real culprits are the charlatan, manufacturers/influencers/ salesmen/magazines.

Don't think so. @fpitas was talking about trolls in general. It wasn't a label meant for you.
EDIT: But then @krabapple did it while I was writing
EDIT2: Well, not really. I just didn't get the joke.

Besides, this has nothing to do with how little we think of ourselves or others. Or at least it hasn't for me. It's just a fascination with the tragicomical parts of the human condition. I'm well aware that I'm not immune to those afflictions myself.

But if we can't make fun of blatantly stupid s¤¤t here, then where can we? There's a time for diplomacy, and there's a time for ridicule. You can't make everybody happy.

I've said it before: Ignorance can be accepted, as long as it doesn't do any damage, but it should never ever be respected.

Agree you have to challenge otherwise you are simply perpetuating the lie.

If making fun of Audiogon is evil, I don't want to be good.

I think one can recognize by now very
quickly when people come for just trolling, not willing to learn and just wanting to stir it up.

In these cases no argument, no bridge building will help nor convince them.

However they steal a lot of time away from those willing to help others who are asking genuine questions and who are indeed willing to learn or at least open to new views.

So no I am not too concerned about the trolls getting their feelings hurt.

Did I?

Rimshots are associated with the Borscht Belt style of old-school comedy.

Maybe it got lost in translation.

I’ve reviewed several amplifiers using GaN in AudioXpress. Orchard participates here.

Thanks for the shout-out. All of our amps use GaN transistors. Anybody that has questions feel free to reach out.

Mine always runs better after an oil change!

His dac has a head-position-detection-and-distortion-reduction doohickey.
