To put this in context, an immediate danger to hearing, a gunshot, or a jet-engine take-of is 140 dB.
What does this mean to you?
Is there something gay about buying it? If you already have three or four 24/96 DAC's, maybe.
While we recommend DSD 2x you can get great sound out of 24/96. The noise floor of 24/96 is 144.49 dB (though studios will vary at top at 130 dB typically with their mixer).
You won't need a gunshot going off in your head to tell you to get with the philosophy. The Greeks were famous for their budgetry. At only $299 the Super is $4,500 USD cheaper than the Hegel HD 30 DAC ($4,800.00 USD) which does -150 dB. That encapsulates 24-bit.
Now there is some dichotomy between a 24-bit DAC doing -140 dB and a noisy computer with a fan at -30 dB.
What does your Super do for you?
