Ray Charles - "Rap is not music"
Rap is not something I care for, neither is hip-hop, but I get why some would love it. As an example, at 68, I have totally fallen for electronic music this past year, specially French and Danish, like High Tone, Zenzile, Danton Eepron, Jacob Bell... 
Please help with setting up a streaming system
Everyone usually recommends the one they use, so take that with a grain of salt. My only recommendation is to get a streamer with an OS  (Operating System) you like for your application. A lot of OS work best with Apple products and not so good wi... 
Incredible improvement in sound quality
Nothing like hearing in stereo again. I use my waterpik on lowest setting with the triple jet ear  fittings. Simple enough and kick the q-tips to the curb.  
Beatles vs. Stones

"Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time?
Wow, so many people on this site spending so much time writing about anything about sound. How do they find the time to listen to music. It's like not being able to see the forest for the trees.  
Banchmark DAC3B vs. Denafrips Pontus II (12th Aniv.)
Good for Benchmark. I bought a Jay's cdt2-mk3 from Alvin and I told him personally I couldn't consider any Denafrips dacs no matter how good they are since they offer no remote. Maybe one day that will change.  
Banchmark DAC3B vs. Denafrips Pontus II (12th Aniv.)
Not X, meant R.  
Banchmark DAC3B vs. Denafrips Pontus II (12th Aniv.)
Sorry for dble post. Anyway, at these prices it would be hard to beat any Gustard. A, X or PRO, all with remote
