I don't see any questions directed at me in this thread?"
You may have missed them. Here they are.

Thanks Coli. This is getting confusing. Are you suggesting that my old TriVista would still be competitive with today's DACs? I guess the only way for me to know is an A-B comparison in my system. But I had assumed that new ones would easily beat mine. Anyone?..."

Yes, do A?B comparison. There are some really high priced snake oil DAC out there so be careful."
"08-17-15: Arsh
Coli, which ones do you consider "snake oil?" Thanks."
"08-19-15: Coli
Actually, there's plenty of high end DACs that sounds no better than cheap AV Receivers."
"08-20-15: Rhanson739
Coli,
So why didn't you mention those, as well?"

I'd like to know as well. Its not often that someone takes a high end dac and compares it to the dac in a mass market receiver, while in the same system. I'm sure everyone here would find the results of your comparisons to be valuable information. "

Thank you, Coli. I have not listened to those units. But it seems there must be other factors that influence sound, like circuit design, power supplies, tubes, parts quality, etc?"
I don't know how you could have missed all those.
