I have a PS Audio Digital Link III with Cullen Mods that’s pretty old but sounds good to me Would a newer inexpensive DAC from say Topping, Schiit, SMLS etc be a major improvement? Thanks for your great advice!!

Old DACs CAN sound greatI run a fine PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC, UPGRADED as follows: brCoaxial input and analogue output jacks replaced with Furutech FT-903(G) RCA Chassis Mount, Gold-Plated Pure Copper Conductors, Neotech 20awg, Solid Core UP-OCC (Ultra-Pure, Ohno Continuous Casting) Silver Hook-up Wire, TCBraiding 1/4" Tinned Copper Braid, Nippon Chemi-con power supply capicators replaced with 2x Mundorf MLytic AG MLGO, 6800uF 40Vdc , 2x Elna ROA Cerafine, 1000uF 35VdcbrIsolation system: 4 x IsoAcoustics Iso-Puck Mini – 6 lbs (275 KG) / unitbrIsolation Platform: 14" x 18" x 3/4" black quartz, 24 lbs, 4 x Vibrapod Isolation Feet, Model 3

I prefer the sound of the analog out of my Rotel RCD-950 from the mid 90s over running the coax to either my Schiit Modi or my Cambridge DAC magic I attribute that to the Rotel having R2R rather than a delta sigma DAC Of course the difference is subtle enough that it may be in my head, which is the more likely explanation

Great article on DAC's, but it won't work with Hi-Fi SACD players as the only output cd quality digitally, so Robert should not invest in an off board dac Universal units with HDMI can be converted with audio extractors, but the result is mixed So a DAC with an Hi-Fi SACD player, won't work, or hdmi from universal players is mediocre at best There is a transport recently available, perhaps from PS Audio, but it's silly money

Every dac with whatever kind of upsampling technology smears the time domain more or less Result is loss of pure imaging of the sound (flat) I stick with real NOS dacs for that reason

Paul - a few clips mention recapping Are we really saying all audio equipment needs new caps at twenty years This would be a serious costing in factor if so

It would be great if one day you could explain how digital audio works 1 bit versus 16 bit and bit depth etc unless you've studied all this at college the average person won't have a clue what you're talking about The sad thing is no one has ever set out to explain the basics of this either All you get is a full blown very technical discussion on aspects of digital recording and transmission which offers very little help

Big Big DSD, Such an advanced system, can its IV/LPF represent advanced sound with only one or two NE5532?

Will there ever be an end to improvements to digital audio processing equipment? Does that mean all the previously issued digital audio processing systems can now br be considered junk?

Not to worry people, Paul is working on his next YouTube video for tomorrow💡😀 Maybe it will be about the differences of Audiophile grade plastics vs Audiophile grade metals used with audio products 😎🤗👍

I upgraded to a Holo May KTE DAC this yearbrI'll prolly never go back to sigma-deltabrAlso, the effective noise floor in even very high end gear is at 19 or 20 bit depth Upsampling at the source to 20 bits puts all the noise of the digital side in the 20th bit, and leaves 19 bits for all the good stuff (assuming your gear is good enough)

I definitely do not agree with assessment The newer AKM or ESS dac chips for example etc, do not possess higher resolution in sound quality, for resolution, detail, dynamics, with naturalness Burr browns 24/192 1792a is an excellent dac if it implemented electronically the right and proper way None of the newer AKM, or ESS dacs etc, bring better sound quality with higher resolution quality including the naturalness of sound that is able to better a properly implemented twin burr browns arrangement 1792a 24/192 dac at all The new Dacs have not improved sound quality, the only thing that can be done to improve dac sound quality is how it has been properly implemented in the electronic circuit, and that is the utter truth PAUL you should be ashamed of yourself, you don't know what you are talking about, or you are just telling plain porkie LIE, and that is the utter truth

I totally agree There has been a huge improvement in integrated DAC production technologies, and the present AKM and ESS are definitely better than old PCM63, 1704 etc on every respect This based on my personal experience

4:20 long video, niceeeee

I don't completely agree with this It all depends on what a person wants I have a old Denon DVD/universal player (with a burr brown DAC), and old H/K CD player (also with a burr brown DAC) and a newer OPPO blu-ray/universal player While I think the DAC in the oppo is fantastic, it is also very bright I have found the H/K and Denon very mellow and soothing sometimes Just depends on what mood I'm in Of course When in loving the H/K it is with CDs only I have to use either the OPPO or Denon if I want to play SACDs (I only have 2 and only one works with the SACD layer)
