Wow, what an over-the-top self-important diatribe! Keep it in perspective - there are people here that think flat from 20Hz-20kHz is an important thing to get right (I'm one of them), especially if we're so hard on DAC & amp reviews in terms of focussing on beyond audible SINAD improvements, then such design & engineering rigour should 100% extend to the expectation of a flat frequency response from 20Hz-20kHz.....and even more so given the fact some humans can hear up that high, so it's arguably more important than rating even higher up the inaudible SINAD scale. I think there is zero problem for people pointing out this weakness of this DAC.....I think they should choose the other filter that's flat to 20kHz.
Filter #1 in the E50 (red line):
glad to amaze you, but i must say what's truly over-the-top & self-important would be using those words to describe others' comment without even knowing how to read. you're the one who needs help keeping things into perspective - some people, myself included, think that flatness up to 20kHz is more important, while some people, topping included, for some reasons (you may want to read posts such as #245 or #268 in this thread), think that enough attenuation before Nyquist is more important, hence the design choice, and im ok with both views existing, as clearly implied. i was just pointing out the fact that, in this particular case, advocating one over another doesn't objectively make either one the only logical answer nor the corresponding weakness comes with it more acceptable than another.
you can criticize the filter choice, dac chip choice, & conclude that this is a bad product for yourself because of these all you want. that's completely fine by me. what isn't fine is some people go as far as making all kinds of false accusations repeatedly despite multiple clarifications, just to throw dirt on topping's name, thinking it somehow justifies god-knows-what when no need to as them not rating this product highly can be completely justified already just by aforementioned reasons (facts btw) alone & these things they said being untrue justify nothing therefore not only opinions based on these don't have a point, the accusations are totally uncalled for. to those kind of people, i asked them: please kindly shut up.
aside from this, there is of course zero problem for people pointing out the weakness, amir did exactly that on the review!! did i say i have problem with that? lol. the funniest thing is, i don't have problem with that to a point that i didn't even care to really touch on this topic in the post you replies to, as all i care about was to stop those false accusations, because i didn't think anything else is remotely as important, yet you seem to feel offended (by stating facts lol). now that we're touching on this, i must repeat i don't have a problem with how anyone rate this product, not only that, i don't even have problem with you or anyone else disagreeing with amir. in fact, neither me nor the ones who rated this device highly nor amir himself seem to have any problem with any of that. on the other hand, just because amir or some have different criteria, preference, perspective, etc. than the others, people like you feel so offended that you won't stop repeating the same things over and over again unless amir changes his stance. now who are the self-important one, you or me? if you call stating facts & doing what needs to be done over-the-top & self-important, what even are you? as long as you can't tell the difference between us, i don't think it's possible for you to ever improve as a human being. i suggest you learn how to read & use words properly for starters. it helps tremendously. saving time & avoiding unnecessary arguments.
