I just ordered a DAC/headphone amp, and the particular brand borders a bit into audiophile territory. I tend to buy good bang for the buck pr0sumer (music production, studio) stuff, and this was a first for me. Wanting to reduce buyers remorse and raise excitement for the soon to be shipped piece of gear, I started reading some forum posts about it, since I have known for a very long time that forums on the internet can provide very insight- and helpful information. Reading the below exchange in a thread about my amp made me post here: quote:

This is the thread: http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2160 Of course, not everything in it is ridiculous, but apparently there is a line of varying breadth that waits to be tripped over whenever encountering high end/audiophile aficionados. If you are so inclined, post your opinions, insights, experiences and examples regarding this delicate matter into this thread.

Well I just swapped out the stock psu for a Yuasa lead acid battery (Reading 13.6v)and the sound just got kicked up a notch! Never thought the difference would be so pronounced, the soundstage has now lept further from the speakers and instruments have more weight and air around them, the sound really is more dynamic now, and the difference was better still through my Grado's. A very good upgrade until the new psu is released.
No offense but you guys must have incredible ears , Its very difficult (for me) to hear the diff between the 7520 and my old CA AZUR cd player , i can hear it but only just.
A set of good ears for 'live' instruments doesn't necessarily mean a good set of ears for speakers generated audio reproduction.

You also need well-managed fake accounts on all the relevant enthusiast forums where you cautiously and "objectively" praise your own and subtly diss your competitors' products
