I'm sure it sounds better than the DAC you **** smeared and listened with Richard.
Yep, trying to have a dialogue with the guy is like talking to a deep hole in the ground, not even the echo is responding. He has a totally parallel discourse, whatever his interlocutor is saying.
Dunno Bob, seems it could be any number of different things, would help to know then we might be able to hear it better, perhaps Mark will get back to you on that one, let us know if he does 😉
If it’s all about phase timing then any damage done by the brick wall filtering can be undone with dsp?
Please test yourself first for hearing acuity at 22050Hz at low levels, not "when someone turns off and on a 500W ultrasonic cleaner I sense something" before you say not supposed to hear.
BTW, sounding "smear" is the FUD trigger word used by the audio cable hawkers little over a decade ago and audiophools who fell for it. Now adopted by the DAC hawkers.

With all this time smearing going on at audio frequencies already how does 10G Ethernet work? ADSL worked over razor wire up to MHz frequencies.
Neither do I but we need an instantaneous delta-T of 80 odd C for which I cannot see a mechanism. More fun that the usual discussions to try and find one though.
Congratulations on being more confused than usual, and full of **** too. I did not do anything at all to Richard's dac. He sent it out somewhere for 'modification.' It came back as shown in the pic I posted.
You are probably forgetful too, but a number of people in this thread were interested in finding out what was done to Richard's dac and how my own Benchmark DAC-3 sounded in comparison.
No requests for measurements were made before we did the listening and then opened the modified dac to take a few pics. It was only after people saw the pics that they started complaining about why didn't we anticipate that everyone would be asking to see measurements. We did not anticipate it either since we had not seen the inside of the dac ourselves until done with the listening. No measurement equipment was available at that time in any case, since Richard's test gear had already been packed for shipment and or shipped (I don't know which).
To recap, we listened both dacs playing PCM and DSD64. We agreed at the time of listening that my stock dac sounded better than Richard's modified one (less distorted, to me anyway), but Richard said his dac sounded better after the treatment than it did before. (I was not involved in listening to it prior to its final state as shown in the pics.)
I thought Richard said he heard a difference, not that one sounded better than the other (whatever that means)
Because we don't know what that does (if anything) to the temperature and if there is enough time for anything to actually get hot. I don't think it does but happy to be proved wrong. 2.5 millinewtons doesn't seem to be able to cause much heating. I am also not sure about your 1000G number but need to think about that. And please no one quote the shure advertorial again....
I removed the post for that reason and for the dead link. Will write up a better one.
What is the Shure advertorial?
All the best fortune,
Chris
