Serious Question: How can DAC's have a SOUND SIGNATURE if they measure as transparent? Are that many confused?

Having a measurable 'hump' is very different from a 'sonic signature.'

My super sonic silent signature

Ooh, nice! I still prefer a minigun (possibly backed up by claymores
At up to 100 rounds per second, range time gets expensive...but those are amazing.
Depends on what your shootin at. The mini shoots those little bitty 7.62x51 NATO rounds, not too effective against anything armored or even close to it.
The Quad 50 (AKA The Meat Chopper) shoots that huge evil monster 50 BMG round. There were M2's capable of shooting up to 1,200 rounds per minute, times that by 4 and you get 4.800 rounds a minute or 80 rounds per second of all hell breaking loose from a Quad 50. Designed by John Browning and entering service towards the end of WW I and still being used by Army's around the world, the M2 (Ma Deuce as it's affectionately known) is one of the most respected heavy machine-guns ever produced.

Na Woody, it's not really mine, I could only wish. :p

We have to at least mention the 'Hand of God'...the 20mm Vulcan.

I was on deck once when a 20mm vulcan was fired on the USS Nimitz. Sounded like the loudest fart ever. I could swear the vibrations moved me sideways across the deck half an inch.

We're getting nowhere with DACs, so the subject has changed!

It still makes your extremely uninformed arguments look even weaker. And I'm not talking about just one sentence. Your online mode of communication looks like trolling.

stating we don`t know all there is to know about audio and science in 2020..and there is no need to be bombastic amount the vast majority of what is known.. is uninformed^^ allright.. you read into this whatever your little heart desire and label accordingly

I think cars should be dull, at least on sunny days. I'm ok with shiny cars on overcast days.

What I'm reading is that you don't understand "Digital" while requiring the use of "digital" to express your thoughts, IE: Trolling.
