The phrase, at least as used by Galileo, can be assigned to true believers and to heretics as well. By that I mean Galileo was a true believer when it came to science but a heretic in the eyes of the church. In any event it is one of the best posts I've seen in long time. ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96407 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

That's only the first law, the second law states that if one cannot hear how much better the more expensive piece of equipment sounds than the less expensive then the rest of one's system MUST BE at fault. By the way, here's a straw man for you, I hear he's got a killer audio system carefully assembled by price: +---+ |Filename: Straw-Man-220x300.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=14039| +---+ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96407 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

This is the kind of straw man that gets us nowhere. Sadly, a member such as Ralph would likely be elated to discover the quality of sound coming from his audio system if he upgraded the DAC. I've learned first hand that it only takes one weak link in the electronics upstream to hide the huge upside of hi-end speakers. Did someone make popcorn? Coconut oil or bust. Oh, and a whirley pop.

ralphpnj wrote: > Maybe not dirty but what about jittery? Sure, but jitter only matters where the data doesn't get resynchronized/rebuffered - and in the DAC itself, where the clock jitter on the *output* clock can matter - but that is on the side where the data enters the analog domain. It's funny how you never hear a dialog like "I really have problems loading this excel spreadsheet" "Ah, that's because you probably have too much jitter between your hard disk and your CPU" > But the $1500 chip HAS TO sound better as per the First Law of High End > Audio: the more expensive it is the better it will sound.

Right. And if the chips transfer the same data, without corrupting it, and deliver it in time when it is needed at the output, it makes no difference if the chip is a $5 one or a $1500 one.
