Assuming a digital connection, sound quality is only derived from a couple of things:
1. speakers/headphones. the most important, by far
2. "name brand" amplifier with enough headroom to play the volume you want to play at
in the year 2014, all the major audio manufacturers (when it comes to sound processing, amps, etc) pretty much have it figured out. Yamaha = HK = Denon = Pioneer, etc. It's all the same shit. Tube amps sound different because their analog nature produces a different harmonic distortion that sounds warm. Those expensive Cambridge Audio, Emotiva, etc amps that rich audiophiles buy? It's the product of a fabricated industry that convinces stupid rich people that those components are somehow better just because they have "symmetrical" design and brushed aluminum and retail for $4200. Same sound quality as the $420 Yamaha at Best Buy.
everything else is audiophile bullshit. the fact that you think certain cables really make a difference just illustrates how stupid you really are.
and there's nothing wrong with being into good audio, shit I am, but spend your money on speakers and headphones. as an example, if I had 3 grand to spend on a setup, I'd get $2500 in speakers and push it with a $500 amp. Guaranteed to get better results than spending $1500 on speakers and $1500 on an amp. |
LMAO, so Dixon, Sasha an all of them use Oyaide for nothing? right. Calm down newb, computers and laptops are then noisiest sources ever. The top of the line Oyaide cost 120$ and their not audiophile or hifi for that matter. The reason to get good balanced IC's is that you want no signal loss and plenty of shielding unless you like electrical interference in your shit when you mix. This is more important than sitting in your stupid couch listening on your klipsch speakers. Any other expensive cable is just for Hi fi not dj use. I learned the hard way but thank god i got my money back. Oh and FYI i have ultrasone signature pro's which retail about 1,100.
Here you can see Pan Pot using oyaide.
Here's another vid of dubfire explaining and getting into more detail.
