    "My data has been scrutinized across some 200 DACs. No company, no individual has ever shown them to be in error. "

    "One thing is clear though: high-end audiophiles seem completely deaf to what is clear distortion that is stomping on detail in their music. We know the distortions are there. We know they are clearly bad as they are not part of the music. Yet none of them ever observe it. "

    I thought I read through that thread yesterday but must've missed TotalDac's owner's comment. Gold.

    That linearity measurement looks way better than what I expected, the rest just looks like a typical NOS DAC to me. Not too bad actually.

    If I could I’d buy you a beer for pointing this out. Absolutely hilarious.

    I thought it was already sport to have a drink in hand when reading his site.

    The fact that his "followers" seems to be growing and infecting other parts of the internet saddens me. It's like comparing a nice beer to budweiser. The nice beer tastes better in every way, yet he will praise the bud for its clarity and criticize the nice beer because its cloudy

    "He'll criticise the nice beer because it's cloudy" That's an excellent analogy, hah.

    Budweiser is a consistent product made from rice, barley, water, and noble hops. Chifi isn’t.

    @loki993 I remember reading an argument between an Amir follower and another forumer on erji.net of all places. I guess even China isn't immune to this shit.
