Charlie Hansen also agrees. He disliked DSD personally. He also knew how to filter properly. George it's absolute statements like your's that turn many off.
Many of us listen to all designs and products and we use our ears. There are great designs on both sides. The way you post, you are saying that any R2R design sounds better than any DAC that is D/S. Teh only absolute in the discussion is that you are plain wrong. No one is dismissing the R2R being able to sound world class.
How about speakers George? Are you going to tell us a certain crossover design being better than another? Again, totally subjective.
As Charles and nearly anyone else who has any audio sense will say, it's all about implementation. If you disagree with that, then you lose any credibility with most folks I would think. Your constant R2R gets old. Very dismissive of even a designer like Steve who most of use feel makes one of the best DAC's available. I've owned and loved his DAC that was R2R and have been told by many I trust that his new DS DAC is a lot better. One designer, builds one of each and implants them both in an outstanding manor. He chose DS for his top design. I realize you will dismiss him by staying on your R2R platform, but that's not cool as he's ever said that R2R can't make a great DAC.
