    Enjoying and loving a hobby is nothing to be ashamed of or feel "dumb" about :)

    Maybe you do feel that way. Seems more tongue in cheek to me. Entry-level products are great for what they are. But, in a good set up, they can be a bottleneck. "Can you unknow what you know now?" — Zed in Zardoz

    @Claritas Partly tongue in cheek, yes. I can hear the limitations and flaws of that entry level stack from the first few notes. But a little money can get you a lot of good sound these days.

    As I get older/deafer/poorer, it keeps becoming less about good, and more about good enough. An automatic reduction in expectations to better match current reality.

    I've had moments thinking I'd just take a Bifrost2 and SW51+ with a few of my favorite headphones and call it good. They ARE good.

    On the other hand, unlike 40 years ago, I rarely hear gear that sounds outright bad anymore. Much of it is uninspiring though.

    All entry level DACs sound the same through a Vali2. So Vali2 + Chromecast Audio.
