Just something I need to clear up before someone goes up in arms about my rants - in general many of these Youtubers and other reviewers produce acceptable content most of the time. It is just sometimes that they fall of the cliff edge like lemmings when they speak about a subject that they do not have sufficient expertise in, but claim they do.

Just like I would never try and teach other people how to put nitrous oxide in your car to make it go really fast (as I have no clue how to do that), people should stop proffering advice on topics they have inadequate knowledge of. When that happens and come across my way (and knowledge domain), I'll speak up.

For this one, please review the following five videos: Video 1/5, Video 2/5, Video 3/5, Video 4/5 and Video 5/5. Sorry, this is a very long one but there is a lot of content to go over. There is also one other, related video I'd like you to review - specifically where he speaks about the Mac Pro being the 2nd most overpriced tech.

Before reading my rant, first review the video in question from Marques Brownlee, considered the "best technology reviewer on the planet right now" in 2013.

His video is about the quality of onboard DAC/amplifiers on the sound card embedded with most motherboards inside of computers. Firstly, he refers to it as "Digital to Audio Converter". Just google it - that does not instil confidence. Secondly, he makes this very broad statement:

As a general rule people buy external Digital to Audio [sic] Converters because the internal ones that are built in to our computers that feed directly to the output headphones jack basically, are typically really really bad.

Thanks to the raging wildfires here in British Columbia, our moon is a not-not blood moon:

Is this beautiful or awful?
