In most cases we use exactly the same components that you will find in expensive “high-end” equipment. It is the simple fact that we buy components in extremely large quantities, which leads to prices that are generally a fraction of what our competitors pay for. Often, we also buy directly from manufacturers, bypassing distribution all together.Once you add our highly integrated manufacturing capabilities, you will easily understand our competitive pricing.Nowadays, electronic components have reached such a high quality and integration, that differences are hardly audible. In fact, today’s AD/DA converters come from a few major suppliers such as Cirrus Logic, AKM or Burr Brown etc. whose components have become industry standard. Just look inside the units and check out the part numbers. Provided design rules for correct grounding and clean power supplies are followed, the performance should be nearly identical.To answer your question whether it matters "what you put before and after the converters”, my short and simple answer would be; if you mean microphones and speakers I would whole-heartedly agree, the rest not so much.Warm regardsUli</blockquote>
