You’ll get facts and measurements based objective reviews on ASR.
Not always, remember the deeply flawed review and measurements of the Sonore microRendu?
While there has been revisionist history applied there to cover up the original botch job, that review concluded the mR could not be recommended because it was not bitperfect, and caused
an 8dB rise at the analog output of the USB connected DAC.
All of that was of course
completely false/inaccurate, said a lot about the competency of the reviewer, and also revealed an obvious agenda/axe to grind, as well as a failure to listen to the mR at all, as an 8dB rise surely would be easily/clearly audible to the most casual observer.
Also false was Amir's assertion that the iFi iPower was the "included" power supply with the microRendu, when in fact it was just one of several options offered by Sonore, who sold that unit by default sans PSU. Once corrected on that misrepresentation, he then tried to call the iPower Sonore's "recommended" PSU, which was also false, then tried to shift the goalposts entirely by turning the whole embarrassing debacle thing into a scathing indictment of the iPower itself.
Wow was there egg all over Amir's face when it was determined his test setup was deeply flawed, including Windows Media Player (really?), with the dithered software volume control enabled. No thats not bitperfect, not through the microRendu nor any other network endpoint either.
Microsoft, Windows Media Player, buying then immediately retiring HDCD... not exactly the stuff of audio legends there.
How about the steadfast backing of that complete crock of BS known as Master Quality Adulterated? Almost caused a mutiny among the faithful over there, didn't it?
ASR = groupthink
extraordinaire, which is too bad because there are various good/knowledgable people posting there.
