Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: "cheap interconnects, OEM power cord, no quality isolation devices/footers.and set it on a glass table"...

I strongly suspect that even my aged Marantz DV-9600 would sound pretty good in the face of all of the above.

Perhaps someday I'll give it a try and see.

In the mean time, using its cheap power cord, stock footers, same coffee table (ok, wood not glass) and balanced headphone cable, my Audio-GD PCM1704 based DAC/Headphone amp exhibits none of those annoying ESS Sabre delta-sigma DAC characteristics.

Wonder why?




First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
