Discrete VCAs etc. - are my suspicions justified?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Some modules, say, VCOs or VCAs, are sometimes described as <em>&quot;discrete&quot;</em>. I assume their descriptions correspond to the electronic nomenclature, i.e. they are built from discrete components, single transistors instead of opamps and other chips. Take, for example, such a module as Xaoc Devices Tallin - a <em>&quot;dual discrete core amplifier&quot;</em>.</p> <p>Could this mean that their technical parameters were sacrified for marketing/audiophilism of some kind? Don't get me wrong, I have no particular suspicions about specific modules, I only have bad experiences from the audio segment, where there's a lot of voodoo, snake oil etc.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/mmpingo"> /u/mmpingo </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/f38ffv/discrete_vcas_etc_are_my_suspicions_justified/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/modular/comments/f38ffv/discrete_vcas_etc_are_my_suspicions_justified/">[comments]</a></span>
