I really enjoy your easy to understand way of explaining complex hifi Thanks Paul

There is a serious argument how the design really change the sound of amplifier of “DAC” brand change from very full sound to poor sound quality I’ve never heard such an argument but I’ll take into consideration

Paul mentions the output stage of the DAC but omits to mention the low pass filter which because of phase shift at the filter poles has a considerable bearing on the sound There are also several different types of analog filter designs Chebyshev, Sallen Key, Butterworth, to name but three, each type has advantages and disadvantages

I just got into DAC's a few years back I can't afford the really expensive one's but I do have a few I also like to listen to my DAC in my receiver He did this vid back in 2017 and it's now 2022 One of my DAC's allows the owner to change out the output amp It's a simple chip swap Without changing the DAC chip you get a different sound Also like he mentioned software upgrades can change the sound

I have a very cheapo DAC device that uses a ESS 32 bit, and it came with cheap JRC OP AMPS, that configuration sounds "meh" i swaped the op amps to some Burr Brown ones or a discrete ones, and the diference is toooo much better

In Germany, PS Audio is unfortunately not a popular brand and many high end stores they dont even know about it, which shows lack of real Hifi expertise I love your videocast, because awesome product to need great brains, thx!! Cheers from Hamburg/DE!

I wish I lived in Colorado to learn There have been some things you've mentioned I'm not sure I agree with or understand and would love to see measurements But I'm not sure why people would argue with you on the significance of the analog stage of a DAC

So intentional distortion sounds good and low noise and distortion sounds like crap? What happened to the "fidelity" in high fidelity?

I bought my Shanling UA2 and they said the key was the additional amp inside the dongle 🤔

Do you know how the Pcm5102a compares to the ak4458? I’m considering returning a 2021 Denon (with PCM5102a) for last year’s model if the AK4458 is better Thank you for your time
