2022 13th Note DAC Index (by Sound Quality)
#audiophile #dac #streaming
This is a lowdown on my current list of DACs I've reviewed and which ones I rate most by Sound Quality. It doesn't necessarily mean that the products lower down the list are not good ones or are not *best*, because of course best connotes an idea of use, features and spec, as well as price! Obviously this is my subjective experience of DACs but I have tried to think of not only the sound characteristics I like, but what others like too, such I cannot relegate a DAC lower down the list because it doesn't have the character I like - a bain of HiFi reviewing.
It's basically a list of which are to wow the most! It isn't meant to be comprehensive descriptions but a quick overview. For more chat about my experiences, consider signing up to Patreon to support me, as making a living doing this is tough!

Notes:
**1 COMPARISONS OF UNREVIEWED GEAR : Please don't ask me how a product compares to another which I haven't reviewed, as it isn't possible to comment on such products I haven't tested. Check out my website for reviews of products I have completed instead (hit the review tag, and separate tags).
**2 MORE ADVICE : If you are asking me how does X product compare to Y that I HAVE reviewed, or how does something sound beyond comment in videos, or system / further advice, please sign up to Patreon (small amounts!) or make contributions via PayPal where we text chat or Zoom etc. If viewers want this, where you benefit in this way, it is fair to ask for contributions, especially where my time is taken away from videos. Also I can't answer all questions on YouTube anyway and it is rarely as simple as a single response, it requires a deeper dive into experiences to do any advice justice.
**3 ABUSE POLICY : I encourage and like debate, and constructive criticism, but people who abuse or troll me, or my subscribers or commenters, post very negative and non constructive and uncorroborated comments designed to put me or others down (where they don't explain themselves), or they could be perceived as such, as well as aggressive comments / hate, or pit my subscribers against me, get their comments removed and I hide them from commenting again. I don’t need the hassle of these people for all the work I put in!
