In Reply to: Aren't we to the point where it is all just bells and whistles when you are building an audio player? posted by bwb on May 15, 2012 at 06:43:23:
I completely agree bwb.
Over the years I've heard DAC's using coaxial, TosLink, USB, Firewire, HDMI. Never did I attribute sound qualities to the interface itself, but rather to the DAC even when switching to different interfaces on the unit, music sounds about the same.
What I'm really looking for is HDMI as the unifying AV digital interface. I believe multichannel is the best sound I've ever heard so an interface like HDMI that can provide this kind of transport IMO is superior to standard stereo regardless of bandwidth.
