If you're wondering why some of your posts are ruffling feathers, the above post provides a great example. That is, the (ridiculous) narrative that analog users are more about the love of music and digital users are just techies. From my experience this is far from the truth.
That isn’t what I meant, if that is truly what you believe I wrote.
I remarked that I found one audiophile’s finding that turning off and on a DAC changes the sound of a subsequent play (I believe of the same music) to be very interesting and worthy of further research.
I also wrote that, like him, a few others have gone deeply into various aspects of digital technology without any reference whatsoever to the OP’s original query being (is he “delusional” because of his preference of pure analogue music over digital music).
I had seen such single-subject tech discussions on other threads that were dealing with this recurring theme of analogue v. digital, digital as good as analogue, analogue as good as digital, etc., and wondered if they might prefer posting such is a sub-group who are more turned on by the technological process of storing and recreating sound than the listening experience ( e.g. sub-forum “The Measurement Based Audio forum”).
I thought (and stated) that those who took the thread down rabbit holes that had nothing to do with the query posed by the OP were hijacking the thread. Where I apparently erred was thinking that the point of these threads is to tap the minds of experts and come to a conclusion, but I have been informed that it is not. Rather it is a place where, as long as they stay within the rules, members can shoot the shit about this hobby, take threads wherever, and leave us no wiser (with no conclusions) after.
My apologies to those whose feathers I ruffled.
