Okay, you people are going to think I’m nut’s but I had a short listening session with my audio system without a Dac and liked the way it sounded in some respects.
I decided to bring my PS Audio DL lll Dac with me to my apartment in Oklahoma to use with a headphone amp and hooked up my old Sony S7000 DVD direct to the preamp, I normally use the Sony as the transport in my main system
I put on, What’s New, by Linda Ronstadt and the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, I heard Linda singing to me as I sat there with my mouth open, HEY, I’m not kidding.
Her voice was all around me and it sounded more like a live performance. I listened to the whole album and had it cranking. The Dac seems to make the music a little softer in the top end, I gained that raw sound quality in the top end without the edginess which makes it sound live to me.
Maybe I’m using the wrong Dac for my system, all I know is that it sounded petty darn good without it.
So what do you think, am I nut’s or deaf.
