I read your point as being that microsecond scale changes in voltage (which you related to musical notes) would cause audible distortion. My point is that microsecond scale changes in voltage don't even exist in band limited audio, and especially not because a low note follows a high one, an event thousands of microseconds long at minimum.
I always find it a bit funny when I see "zero negative feedback" tube amps with triodes. Unless the anode voltage is held constant, triodes have quite a bit of internal negative feedback even without cathode degeneration.
I've upset some "audiophiles" pointing that out.
I appreciate your point — and I actually agree with part of it.
Negative feedback indeed
Merely listing capacitance, transients, RF, feedback and stability doesn’t demonstrate that any of them presents a problem.
That isn’t really the argument. Just replace R with a complex impedance and redo the calculation. You can do the same for the max vd/dt of a band limited signal and get the resulting capacitive current.
Yes it is funny for me too as an electrical engineer... of course there is no such thing as zero feedback!
All the nonsense from the internet dragged to our doorstep. It's like having a technical cat
The problem isn't your English.
Let's take capacitance as example! I like it because I love making cables... If capacitance never mattered, a 200 m long 0.1 mm RCA cable would work perfectly. (I know a stupid example, but it made me chuckle...)Negative feedback indeed

Let's attack me instead of my AI formatting. Please shoot!
If you are afraid of AI, I think you need to throw away your laptop and mobile phone and live in the forest. It is here.
It has nothing to do with slew rate. Peak current for a given dV/dT into a given capacitive load is trivial to calculate. Try it and you'll see that your assertions are unfounded. Remember that the maximum demanded dV/dT is strictly limited for a given peak voltage and sample rate unless your DAC has no output filter.
No, it's rather the opposite.
That's a result of the transfer function, not of speed - and only with not enough negative feedback.
But you don’t use a 200m long .1mm RCA cable, or do you?
I think there's been another jailbreak at Anthropic . . . some of their new TRoLLM's got loose on the 'net and are invading discussion fora.
This is because there's no problem at all. As has already been shown to you any decent DAC output stage is able to feed any decent power amp input including a cable with sufficient length in domestic settings. Very few power amps need more than 4V rms and some DACs are not able to deliver 4V rms, so those combinations are unable to reach full output but would still sound fine without those distortions you claim.
