yes.
In basic principle yes, however, it as far from as simple as you think it might be.
I imagine it is indeed a much more complex process...
No, only very few, usually cheaper, DAC chips output directly to output connectors, the vast majority does not.
So that would be a relevant comparison. Taking 2 of those and measure those.
If they output a difference, there can dbe an audible difference between them.
If not... Well there can't be
Am I wrong assuming there will probably be no difference at all ?
No 'tweaking' but usually essential components to create a certain output level, conditions, buffering or additional low pass filtering above 50kHz or so.
Ok, "tweaking" is probably improperly used, byt that is what I meant
No, but can understand people think it does. (see
@SIY post above)
So, even after the "analogue" processing, no audible sound difference to expect ?
If so, thanks a lot... You just saved me 50 dollars
See my other post...
That's the beauty of internet, you can eduacate yourself. The biggest issue here is to weed the nonsense from real info. And so you know there is much much much more nonsense found on the web than real info. You need to know where to look.
Yeah... That is the problem. I rely on the claims of some people
And I must say that you are part of those I listen to and take their words for granted
As I mentioned before... speakers aren't electronics. Measuring and interpreting acoustical and electrical measurements is a totally different ballgame and includes a big unknown... the room and positioning of speakers.
Sadly, I modded my post :-(
In the first version, I got to the conclusion "So, for analogue devices, do measurements still tell the whole story ?"
