How do you know it offers an exceptional listening experience, have you tried/reviewed this DAC? or just copying the marketing language?

Thank you

In truth I cannot discern a bit o’ difference between any DAC. If I wanted a dedicated DAC I would pic the best looking one (to ME) that I could afford. That is most often then one built into the CD, DVD, 4K UHD player because I am a frugal frog.

It’s similar to how some people leave their audio equipment on all the time because doing so “makes it all better”.

Would you do so with a BluRay or 4K disc player? Turntable? Howsabout a TV? Totally personal and totally not needed or warranted except to soothe the savage breast of the frAudiophile, i.e., their ego.

“Damn mORTFo! That’s all you had to say!”

My older brother is gonna rag me for this one…So let it be written. So let it be fun.

I love my DACMAGIC200M hooked up to my PC via AE HD6+Sub, and is available for $499. I did pick up a new portable DAC last month based on an older E-C review (https://www.ecoustics.com/reviews/ifi-audio-xdsd-gryphon/), and love it for my needs.

I listen to a lot of techno/ambient/dubspace/electronic music while working and notice most of these artists encode their music in pretty average sampling rates (44.1 kHz via Tidal). There’s an occasional bump here/there, but less so than various rock/popular music. It still sounds decent, but wondering if it’s due to production equipment, cost, or some other reason?

Thanks again for all your sound exposure!
