| Sound quality differences in streamers @mdalton I look forward to it! Always game for politics and scotch :) | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers @soix in the process of slightly missing my point, you seem to be helping my point. At the end of the day, a quality DAC with a sophisticated input section will strip any and all noise from the incoming data stream; in that way, digital accoutreme... | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers I don't know, visit @mdalton 's virtual systems and you can see for yourselves that he's no dilettante. | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers @soix I would agree that non-data "noise" such as, say, SMPS noise can affect sound quality if and when allowed to enter the analog realm, if you will (usually meaning your DAC’s output section); but would you say that that noise can affect sound ... | |
