All except those who don't.
Sorry, again. I wasn't thinking about you when I wrote that. I was trying to make a point about the technical nature of posts in this thread, of which there are a limited number. Despite your particular background, you seem to enjoy non-technical banter and often write posts that appear to be intended as clever more than anything else. With that thought in mind and since you are a frequent poster that is spared attack from the rude comments of some, I tried to make a point to one of those people using a name he would recognize as a frequent non-technical content poster (even if you can talk technical rather than clever banter when you want).
What I failed to do when focused on an entirely different task was to take in to account how you might feel about being singled out in a way that was perhaps more rhetorical than accurate. I see that you still begrudge that error on my part, so again I apologize. That's about the extent of what I can do. If it is not satisfactory, then I don't know what else to say.
Still a shame you didn't try and record the clear differences between DAC3s.... It might have worked...
I would not trust anyone's opinion under these test conditions, mine included. It is not personal.
Man, I am a black belt myself.
Yes, this is entirely possible. I know Nelson Pass for amplifiers that have higher distortion figures than strictly necessary from a technical point of view and from his statement that he is in the entertainment business. His design goal is different from attaining technical perfection. Allowing for imperfections also allows for voicing to take place, so I believe this might happen in his labs. In general, I find Mr. Pass a very credible person from everything I read from or about him. There is no reason to drop his name in this context.
What kind of problem are we talking about?
What a silly words, please read them again. But I see a pattern. Without having any knowledge about me and who I am, you draw all kinds conclusions and present them with aplomb. It is the same with the report you gave on these listening soirees.
We had long discussions here about CFA* VS VFA, on the technical point of view. No need to add another layer.

by example is short and tells near everything.
Make your own opinion about the listening character's differences (if any): it is worth a try.
*Or CFB, name-it...
Could be, but hooking up a recorder would have taken another bag wires and hardware boxes. (The laptop does not have a recording input, and my good ADCs are SPDIF out only, so I then need SPDIF to USB box, which has to Focusrite 6i6.) I guess I could have tried holding my cell phone in front of the speaker, but that might not have been quite sufficient.
I think if that's what you wanted, you should have asked Richard and me at the outset if we could do it. If there were sufficient interest from the group for that expressed in advance, the request probably could have been fulfilled.
The guy, whose only knowledge in mechanics boils down to a you-tube video entitled "
Ten tips for not to be scammed by second-hand cars sellers.", and who comes to mingle in a conversation between engine engineers at the North American International Auto Show and wants to teach them lessons.
Tex Avery would have liked this character.
Or not: All was said by Miguel de Cervantes.

All the time and energy you spend doing whatever it is you do .....maybe some energy might actually go into helping someone learn something.
Just because I have 40+ years ‘sperience’ in audio (which I believe I qualified with ‘at hobbyist level’ ?) doesn’t mean I’ve ever had the need or the inclination for level matching (I’d heard the term but thought it applied to broadcasting)
Now that I understand different and ask you for your protocol to help understand why/what it is exactly you keep pointing out I’m met with some old quote and rolled eyes?
I could get it if that quote had read ‘I know everything there is to know and don’t need you asshats’ or something like that, but that was not the context it came from.
I researched it and cannot figure out how it would be implemented in a simple source/pre/amp/speaker setup or how/if it’s even beneficial.
I set all my levels by ear for the most part and never noticed a lack in the leveling dept.......please just fill me in if this is even relevant to me?
After a short pause, you seem to be back for another mud slinging feast. Likely it will end up the same way as for your previous sock puppet characters on DIYAudio.
Meanwhile back at the farm....
In the spirit of DIY........please let some form of civility return.

Nah...me (maybe sometimes nasty) thinks "how could I have known that it wasn't what you've said".....
That's what I previously assumed, therefore my bewilderment about your posts containing a lot of opinions stated as facts....
Things you can't know "withouth a perfectly working crystall ball " and I seriously could have never imagined that this elephant like hint could be read over.
Misunderstandings in forum discussions are a lot easier than......
No debate there - assuming that we're still talking about the audio stuff, but is there a law of nature stating that Markw4 and RNMarsh couldn't have been totally correct in their description of the sound differences?
I'm glad I was off grid and missed this. One question is EMI "absorbent" a guess, fact, made up, or just foil hat stuff.
Now that you mention it, I left out the word 'claimed.' The gentleman who modified it makes claims about the materials, and claims that they are RFI/EMI countermeasures that were taught to him by a professional RFI/EMI engineer. For all we know, all the materials used could be entirely fake. All we know personally is how the modified dac looked, how the materials felt to touch with fingers and fingernails, and how it sounded to us as compared to my DAC-3.
Not to mention the idea of shielding the top of ICs is as dumb as a potty. Only potty untrained babies could possible buy into it.
It’s on the tape used in the modded pic.

Looks like it might be squares of Luon board under the paint? Am I safe in assuming this is the SE package w/ rmi efi riddance technology? $900 ?
