David (MCRU, yes I know, lets have that conversation later) pointed me at this thread. http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f27-uptone-audio-sponsored/mystery-revealed-uptone-audio-ultracap%99-linear-power-supply-1-a-28609/ Now I absolutely am biased about this as I make sand sell linear power supplies...

Must say I have been tempted to fritter my retirement nest egg on one of those but my main worry is long term serviceability of the power supply. I fear that some IC's may have morphed into unobtainium but I'm not sure if that is the case and a valid concern? Alfi. They are lovely things. I had to ...

So what you are saying is that the statement "there is no such thing as a universal truth" is a universal truth ?

Name one. You do appreciate a universal truth is a truth that as no time space limitations. 'Two plus two makes four'. And no arsing about with 'it depends what you mean by ...' or binary maths.

For some time now in the UK we have accepted that “twelve good men” chosen at random from the electoral register are fit and able to decide the fate of a person accused of a crime given truthful evidence. But we also have a complex and nuanced system in place to control the information those 12 hav...

The whole point of a DAC is to convert the digital input into an analogue output. The best DAC on that basis is one that does this in the most transparent (adding and subtracting nothing from the original) way. So in a comparative review, I'd expect the 'best' DAC to not sound like anything. I shou...

but I doubt that a £1000 DAC is five times better. And if it did what would that sound like? I am always amused by the insertion of objectivity through the back door like this. I have never seen how you can do more that order the sound you prefer. Three items, A, B and C. You can decide C sounds be...
