We have other threads that get into "Can we hear a difference?" type questions, the biggest one about amps, located HERE. So this thread is not asking the question "Can we hear a difference?", but asks the following question: How can one learn to listen for and hear the differences between...

im sure a lot of people are on the same boat as me... There are too many DACs out there... lol.. im wondering if someone could shed some light here initially I was about to get the Asus xonar essence STX, but since there seem to be a potential driver/software problem and also EMI from inside...

I'm currently looking at a number of Universal Blu-Ray players. (i.e. Cambridge, Denon, Marantz, Yamaha & Oppo) I've done some research to find out what Audio DACs they all use. Only one I haven't been able to track down is the Yamaha. Has anyone taken the cover off a BD-A1010, or have some...

Right now there are three main companies developing DACs for Receivers and such. Texes interments, Burr-Brown Cirrus Logic Analog Devices With the recent switch from using the Bur-Brown DACs in the lower end Onkyo receivers to the Cirrus Logic DACs I wonder if this really makes an audible...

There are a ton of DACs out there, and it seems like there isn't a whole lot of objective evidence for why you should prefer one over the other. Does anyone here have any ideas on what DACs would actually result in the most accurate reproduction of the audio? People writing reviews always say...
