It's odd how the most vitriolic, ugly, pro-Schiit posts on
SBAF garner huge numbers of likes. It's also odd how they never explain their measurement methodologies--in sharp contrast to the patient, detailed explanations provided by
@amirm.
Perhaps, like
@amirm, the
SBAF fellows have bought huge number of Schiit products. And perhaps, unlike
@amirm, they are suffering from profound buyer's remorse and are trying to persuade each other that the Schiit they bought is good when it plainly is not.
A final observation, and my apologies if this is getting too personal: It's odd how some members of that forum conspicuously link to their Instagram feeds, as though others care what they and their stuff look like. There are some audiophiles out there who think we should care what furniture they have, clothes they wear, pens they use, cars they drive, etc.
I can afford that stuff, too, and I'm not impressed by it. Audio is not a status contest. This hobby is about realistic music reproduction, not commodity fetishism. If I had both systems, I would use a Topping DAC and a pair of LSR305s over an R2R DAC, a $5K tube amp, and a $10,000 pair of Wilson Tune Tots.
