Topping Centaurus R2R DAC Review

[AndyZ]

Differences in perceived sound stage could be related to phase modulation when using non linear filters.

I would still love to do a blind test between this R2R and your favorite Delta Sigma.

Blind tests like that always sound tedious to me!

+1 Yes there is somekind of hope that after decades of trying that a DAC will come and show all naysayers that they sound different and glorious

We already established limits of human hearing, therefore it’s unecessary to blind test DAC’s that are better than humans it’s basically already done for all off us for all time .

So if you do this you have some likely outcomes.

• you find no differences after many many tries , it’s expected as they test objects works as expected .

• you find differences but after many retrials and consultations with others you find a small experimental error . This is expected if an amateur like myself would do this as it very hard to do properly with extremely small differences involved.

• you find a true difference, congratulations one of the test objects is a broken design.
