| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! I have more generous thoughts towards Chord's looks, they just remind me of those toys that are supposed to make toddlers smarter. Although to be fair, some of their better products look quite good. | |

| Thiel Owners Speaking of internal speaker wiring, I am currently working on two pairs of speakers: Infinity RS-II (above, c 1982) use 24 AWG stranded conductor throughout, from binding posts to drivers, often tightly bundled together ProAc Point Five (ab... | |
| How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable If you're going to be using a computer for streaming, it should be stripped down in terms of hardware and functionality. An apple product won't let you do that, it will fight you every inch of the way. Also, apple does not support flac natively...... | |

| Why does USB feature so much in discussions about DACs when the newer HDMI seems better? Really, it is puzzling to see audiophiles bicker over various types of digital connections that are either deprecated (spdif/toslink/coax), never meant to operate over cable (I2S), or that can be made to work well by jumping through a thousand hoo... | |
| Why does USB feature so much in discussions about DACs when the newer HDMI seems better? Here I am quoting from a respected DAC designer: OK...see if this makes any sense to you: if clocking gets corrupted with a single channel traveling on one wire then how would it make any sense to attempt to coordinate three separate clocks on t... | |
