The computer sends 1's and 0's to the DAC, that's it. None of this bullshit is making the 1's more one-y or 0's more zero-ey.

People are so dumb sometimes, it's almost painful. Honestly, the prevalence of this kind of absolute stupidity has made me lose interest and distance myself from "audiophile" communities. I might check this sub once a week tops vs daily like I used to and I never visit audiophile forums anymore. I'm satisfied with my gear, and stuff like this makes me feel dumber for having read it and generally just sours me on the audiophile hobby overall. It makes me feel like there is a large overlap between "audiophiles" and conspiracy theorists. You have to have a tremendous lack of critical thinking skills and large amount of confirmation bias to fall into these silos-of-stupid and I want nothing to do with any of it.
