To my knowledge, the topic has not been proven from an engineering nuts and bolts perspective, nor from a subjective and blind listening perspective. As mentioned, companies like Uptone (and others) perpetuate orthodoxy without having proof either. I would love to hear the explanation as to how this could be true.Ī point I’ve made many times elsewhere, is that it has never been scientifically proven one way or the other in regards to noise, computers, noise reduction, etc. While possible, it is EXTREMELY unlikely and highly illogical.

You may prefer the sound of extra noise, who knows!? My baseless suspicion is that with the exact same system and blind testing, a monkey would have a better success rate than any of us at picking which had 2 Mac Minis, and which had a PC + UltraRendu.įor it to be incorrect it would require an electrically more noisy computer to somehow improve sound quality. My suggestion is to never accept authority. All in really means is that likes it setup that way, which is great. Yet even if that’s where the prevailing belief lays, it does not mean it’s correct. If the noise of 2016 was so horrible, why would they now use that very noise monster setup today?īack to our suffering horse. Fast forward a few years and in Music Room Two, the center of the PSA universe, Paul is using a Mac Mini connected with USB! Paul remarked that computers are horrible noise monsters (paraphrasing) and that USB is the worst connection to the DAC. And it can shift with the wind.įor instance, and I do appreciate Paul’s presence on YouTube, I watched a Darko interview of Paul regarding the DSJ from perhaps 2016. Very little of this orthodoxy has been proven.

And anything that furthers the purity goal always equals better sound. Audiophiles often have the notion of everything needing to be pure to sound good. It’s worth noting that the land of audiophiles can easily be as superstitious as religion with many beliefs declared as fact, and doing it any other way is abhorrent. Just trying to learn how all this stuff works.
