[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 409358, member: 746"] A flat measurement only refers to the frequency response. There are other factors affecting the reproduction of music - speed, freedom from distortion, absence of ringing, dynamism. You can take two speakers with nearly identical response curves say from 40Hz to 30KHz. Each will sound different, but I;m buggered if I can explain why Before I bought the W4S DAC, I got a Musiland 02 DAC from China for about R2000. Even this did a better job than the ASUS Xonar. I might describe it as sitting in a room listening to music as opposed to being just outside the door [/QUOTE]
