Point of higher priced streamer?
Iron lung,This is audio not rocket science. Even 24/192 is minimal data and and any number of bit perfect options exist. Wireless networks are more than sufficient to carry audio error free with retry. Again not rocket science. Data rates are way ...

f your connection to your DAC is coax or USB, then there is the potential for noise entry which can impact jitter which can impact sound.If the entry is coax or fiber and the DAC is recovering timing info from the digital I/F that can be an issue.... 
Ceramic fuses
One metal is hard which means it deforms little which means it can't deform to increase contact area and reduce resistance.One metal is a bad conductor of electricity.That metal in both cases is rhodium. Makes nice jewelry, terrible for anything e... 
High end Class D amps?
Try using a wooden j-box in your house and telling the electrical inspector he is an idiot because the wires inside it are insulated. There is no "fire hazard".....same with having cotton covered wires inside.... It won't work with the safety insp... 
McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
Tis called a blind test. You didn’t meet with rudeness your very first post was rude. Does someone have anger issues?how do you "prove" what someone did or not hear??

Tell me, do these posts sound like those of someone who owns Wilsons?   I will leave people to their own conclusions, but have come to the conclusion the OP is just a troll.Stumbled across a pair of these beasts at a used stereo store. I can get ... 
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
I never mentioned anything about distortion. They did compare the ls50 and the meta and the graph shows the response is pretty much identical. Its not significant. Its only a couple db at most. You could easily do that with an EQ and it would co...

So basically, it's a fire hazard?Solid walnut backplate. No, aluminum does not sound the same. 
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
kenjit you are just here for comic relief right?  Can you please provide a link in the Stereophile review where they measure the difference in distortion between the old and new versions?  The new Meta has a significantly smoother response. For al... 
REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab
Well that turned ugly quick.I have heard the Tektons a few times, and while I don't think they are the ultimate in refinement, they are a respectable speaker at the price point.   It appears they do some critical things well, namely a flat frequen...

Wow, hotroady, way to behave like an a-- so easily. If people can't handle disagreement of opinion without behaving like an angry child (which you just behaved like), then perhaps the Internet is not for them. 
McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
Now explain why every time my audiophile buddies over the years have claimed some amazing improvements from fuses, when I forced them to listen blind, those amazing improvements disappear. I do make sure to clean the fuse contact first to remove t...

You are here for comedic relief aren’t you?Bear in mind one tube watt equals about three to five or more solid state watts. Turns out running the signal through all those extra wires and circuits chokes the life right out of the music.  
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
The white paper is pretty impressive. It really shows the difference between companies that are truly moving forward the state of the art, and those that claim they are.

No all regulators do not have "a sound". Circuit implementations have a sound. Even a properly implemented low cost 3 terminal regulator implemented properly will be sonically transparent.So what you are saying is NO you don’t have measurements. S...
