5% THD to .000 THD SOUND
I find it interesting that most of the gear in my system measures poorly. I have an all tube system I also use a ladder dac that measures worse than any delta/sigma dac. Yet my system sounds more real, more musical then almost any other better mea... 
I can't play a recording all the way through
For some people it never ends. You are listening to your system and not to music. Pick music you really love and force yourself to listen all the way thru. Also it helps to have equipment that doesn't focus on detail but on emotional connectionAlan 
MQA - One Filter to Rule them All?
I have heard MQA with a Meridian Explorer2 and I like it. I believe the quality of the dac will still be important. Since when they encode an album with MQA they do not know which dac it will be played on they will use a generic catch all process....

Is an I2S cable a Cat 5, 6 or 7 Ethernet cable, or are they two different beasts?
I2S uses 2 wires for data and 2 wires for power. My Audio-GD Master 7 can come with I2S using HDMI connectors or J45. The problem with a HDMI cable is it has to be wire in a certain way to work with the dac. The J45 connector does not have that pr...

The Stealth I2S cable can be used as a standard eithernet cable of course at a ridiculous priceAlan

Is an I2S cable a Cat 5, 6 or 7 Ethernet cable, or are they two different beasts?
I2S is not a cable. It is a digital transmission method. If you have J45 connectors then it will use any ethernet cable. It can also be transmitted using HDMI connectors with HDMI cable.It is a very good sounding connection from a streamer to a da...
