    This is straight-up one hundred percent childish and straight-up one hundred percent toxic, and if you think it is “invigorating”, you’re probably a fucking psychopath and definitely a fucking child, either by age or by mental capacity. Plain enough for you? Fucking moron. I hope I never run into anyone like you in my professional life. I’m not scared to run into you in my personal life, though, because dealing with wimpy little wannabe tyrants is incredibly fucking easy outside work contexts.

    Yeah, I’m not against spending money on audio equipment, but the vast majority of that money should go towards good speakers and headphones rather than things that don’t make a difference. Not because it bothers me, because who am I, but because people would get more out of their money that way.

    I really respect your edit, by the way. Rock on. And the DAC thing we can just disagree on and still be friends. With even a moderately decent sample rate, the DACs job is trivial, and it really makes no difference. If you can hear a difference, it’s because one of the DACs is either doing something more than being a DAC or is broken and polluting the output.

    Tidal sells snake-oil hi-fi, though. MQA is pseudo-scientific bullshit, and the fact that Tidal promotes it disqualifies them from serious consideration. Spotify’s maximum sound quality is more than enough for all purposes. “Audiophiles” thinking they can tell the difference between V0 and lossless continues to be the biggest fucking joke in the universe. But hey, those are the same people who’ll shell out $50K for an external DAC despite the technology having been solved to the point where a Chinese $5 DAC on a motherboard does the exact same thing.

    The world of audiophiles is an absolutely fucking hilarious clown show where absolutely no one has any fucking idea about anything.
