"Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? @benzman "Can we all just agree that every cable sounds different? " No. | |

How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? @audiom3 +1 "I suspect they'll sound closer to one another than their cost difference suggests." | |
