("no fancy DAC will ever...") Of course you have not. No, you are making predictions based on assertions for which you refuse to offer evidence, or even explain properly. magiccarpetride;686168 Wrote: > And because I'm not charging you for this, you are free to take it or > leave it. A non sequitur. Nevertheless, I am also free to comment on your supposed advice.
Now, if you you reply to this and it goes anything like previously, you will post some outrageous and perhaps self-depreciatory comment in an effort to show that the joke is on me for taking you seriously in the first place. So just for the record, I don't take you seriously, but nontheless I choose to reply in order to expose your nonsense to those who may come this way in the future. This kind of subjectivist, post-modernist influenced garbage needs to be flagged up at every possible opportunity, so I am using you to make *my* point - the joke is on you. If the forum rules did not forbid it, I would say that you were an odious fool, and that the question of whether you are also deluded depends on whether you believe any of the rubbish you spout. The jury is out on that one, but on balance, I believe that you do, and that any amount of bluster will not hide it. -- darrell ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darrell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13460 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
