Serious Question: How can Op Amp rolling improve the sound of an already well measuring device? Are that many confused? (Master Thread)

It's hard to admit to oneself that ones monetary and emotional commitment has no actual ROI.

Truer words...

Hello. If u need any info regarding dacs.....and sound signature and how it works you will get a true answer to your question if u ask Lampizator. He is the dac master! Amirm would be good to ask also.....he understands quite well regarding dac sound signature and how the different components in the dac affect sound.

Uh-Oh

Are you a troll ? Lampizator is as much snake oil as it gets a complete cuckoo

Amirm would be good to ask also.....he understands quite well regarding dac sound signature and how the different components in the dac affect sound.

Does he provide any engineering measurements, or properly controlled listening tests to provide his "true answers".

If not, he is just another talking head, delivering no valuable information at all.

I'm not sure what a troll means to be honest. Amirm would be better to ask If you don't trust lampizator. Armirm knows about sound signature between dacs...he is well regarded in his knowing about this.

@amirm demonstrates that pretty much all the DACS he measures are totally transparent. No sound signature at all.

Similarly he has demonstrated that changing Op Amps similarly makes no difference to the sound of devices.

Or another option would be to ask my dad Frank, he knows....I only know because of him initially.

So, you're the second generation who's been marinated in snake oil?

You have now entered The Twilight Zone.

At least the late Rod Serling made the weirdness entertaining.

Not true as he has mentioned many times on different occasions regarding different sound signatures....don't ask me....he will tell you the truth behind this. He prefers certain dacs to others....especially when listening to different types of music. Ask him!

Feel free to point to the review where he has done this. There are many here to choose from. But don't refer to poorly designed, badly measuring devices that he doesn't recommend. It is, of course, possible to design something with bad distortion that sounds different— but that is not a sound signature, just poor design.


Come with some actual evidence for your statements— measurements, or properly conducted and documented blind tests. Then we might have something to talk about. That is how we operate here.

 

[antcollinet]

Oh you definitely wouldn't need to ab his dacs compared to usual transparent stuff...even a deaf person would notice the difference.

Then they must be really badly distorting and badly designed.

Come on - evidence - something that can be replicated and discussed.

Opinions on this site have no value.

I'll ask Armim. Armim you said you prefer certain dacs because of a certain sound signature. This is true as per your posts a long time ago? And you prefer certain dacs depending on maybe what type of music u listen to?
And the answer is.....waiting on a reply.
So when he replys....the answer will be yes as I have the posts and videos here, u can find this information yourselves as I did. And if this post is deleted....then there also is your answer. Facts are fact...don't ask me.

If you're saying a properly designed, transparent DAC like a Benchmark will deliver different audible results than some eccentric excuse for a design from a snake oil vendor posing as an audio expert, that's true. However, using multiple DACs for different styles of music makes zero sense -- the place in the signal chain for tailoring the sound to ones preferences is not a DAC, that's the realm of equalizers and other post-DAC processors.

 

[antcollinet]

then you will know the answer why people hear differences and others don't

The answer is aleady known when it comes to DACS. Either the very rare case of badly designed badly performing devices with audible distortion - or - in the vast majority of cases, perceptive bias - where your brain changes the sound you hear due to uncontrolled listening comparisons.

But you already know this - or know that is the consensus here.

You are just deliberately trying to stir up controversy. To answer your earlier question - that is what a troll is.

Don't feed the troll.
