This article has a bit of information on this subject:
Amarra For Tidal - better streaming sound for OS X, Windows | Darko.Audio
True
True
False.
I sent him some files, ones that PMA created. (Also sent him instructions for gettting started with Reaper.) I asked him to describe the differences between the files. He did so in great detail, although I wondered if he might have heard more than there really was. Can't say for sure on that latter point, but he heard real differences to my own satisfaction.
Probably there is some more going on where he is than we know about. He seems to have some enablers around him. By his voice I guess that he is not a small man, and from his description of bicycling to work I imagine he is in aerobic shape. Those things and a willingness to invite people he feels are dissing him out to the parking lot can have untoward effects on people's honesty around him. Of course, he can quickly switch to being quite charming if happy or some need for charm. If he asks someone if two files sound different it could be people can tell from the tone of his voice what the answer is supposed to be. Miraculously, everyone hears it just as Dan says, so they say anyway when he's around.
I might add that the above story is false, no doubt I have things wrong since I have constructed a story based on my very limited observations including a small number of phone calls with Dan. Yet, its the closest thing I can think of.

It doesn't matter, some people will believe anything that is said about him
Those other two are not like you, in case you didn't already know
True. They are not an a-hole as myself, who doesn’t accept a 7805 could make a DAC sound better than an advanced low noise LDO.
Are you sure I did not? If I'd tell you there is absolutely no difference in sound between a 7805 and a LT3045 with about 1.4V drop at full load, what would you think?

Doubtful. If so, you need to see PMA about working on listening skills.
That you need a new joke writer?
...considering one of those is a negative regulator
"the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about"?
Nah, I have free hours of international phone calls, if any you are curious about what I am really up to then extend the invitation, I can work my hours around US time.or Europe Time.My, oh My! Why is Dan never calling me, or Scott, or PMA, or any other Infidels
Your tactical efforts to discredit anything that comes against your vested interest are truly amazing

.Those are both positive regulators unless someone edited their post. LT3045 is the higher current LT3042. LT3094 is the negative version of the LT3045.
Either way, it's of no use. Around here, anyone arguing that there is no audible difference between ANY two conditions will be accused of either not listening, or being deaf / untrained / listening system not good enough. It does not matter if you have young/undamaged ears, lots of hours of listening experience, and well-regarded equipment because it will never be good enough.

Yes. To be fair to Mark, he's expressed the same opinions long before he started dabbling in a commercial venture from what I understand.

Dont know how Tidal etc proccess there files for transmission. And isnt Roon a different source than Tidal direct? If you actually hear a difference than the bits that reach your dac are different and can be analysed.

I better step up my game.
I believe such opinions are a prerequisite for entering the High End Audio business. Without them, nobody could even hope to be successful.
Interesting question, anybody heard of a successful (not to say famous) audio designer with a normal, humble human being hearing, and ready to admit it? None around, as far as I can tell... except perhaps Nelson Pass?

I do believe it got edited. Maybe someone still has the original notification email from his post.
Anyway, to be very clear I am not in business in any way. Maybe I said something that made people assume otherwise, but it would be a mistaken assumption.
