Mnyb: Absolutely, if NAD had included a good DAC in there, it certainly would not seem so unreasonable... And my criticism of the review would not be as harsh because the writer would not be using that Esoteric DAC to make these strange assertions about sound quality.
Darren: Yup. Totally agree. The amp-loudspeaker dynamic is much more nuanced and listening is essential. Measurements can help separate the wheat from the chaff of line-level gear even when listening tests often barely hints at differences in good devices like DAC's... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archimago's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2207 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97950 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
