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

RE: "The problem with measurements". Some thoughts ....

Or, the most obvious, the reveiwers all hear the same deficiency and it is not up to them to find out the exact technical reason just what they hear.

You are also involved in this discussion so what is it to you if I critique something? Are you a Toopping D90 owner who feels burnt by my suggestions?

This is a bigger picture discussion around measurements and audibility. There are people on this forum who think if it measures perfectly, that you are truly hearing the recordings but based on my experience and hearing this just can't be true unless most recordings are truly wretched.

I also don't think you can really create things like soundstage and imaging in a recording that doesn't have the information...or at least it will sound always the same regardless of the recrording.

I have a friend who had a Topping DAC and when he heard something that sounded much better (that for sure measured worse) but was much more expensive, he still jumped on it and bought it. He was not a big spender on audio and now that DAC is comfortably the most expensive component he owns.
