Do Audiophile Cables Matter? Here's PROOF!
The only explanation I saw was twisted wire shields RF. You could take the cheap wire he used and braid it and it wouldn't be such a great antenna anymore.  
Brooklyn Bridge or Aurender
The N100 doesn’t have a DAC so it doesn’t decode MQA. I have a N100H and I've not had a problem using internal storage. 
Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?)
Like anything DSP can be overused. The only difference I can hear between ARC on and off is the bass loses its boominess from my speakers being to close to the front wall. I can tell from the graphs that's where it's doing the most.

Ya. No music along the power cord but idea is the same. No?No.

Minidsp UMIK-1 is a pretty good mic to use it comes with a calibration file.

I noticed in the ASR review of the WoW1 if used with DSP it corrected very good. I suspect in your room no matter the speaker DSP would make an improvement. I use ARC and it works very well, so does Dirac I've used it too. The main thing it does f...

Make sense? NoThis is about power cords music doesn't propagate down power cords.

Be interesting to read impressions of the Salk. ASR did measurements of the WoW1 and they were nothing like what is posted on the Salk site. https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/salk-wow1-bookshelf-speaker-review.14842/ 
How important is the source used with a DAC to obtain optimal quality from Tidal ?
As long as your (android TV box?) can pass the digital signal to the RME DAC I don't see an advantage. I'm assuming you only want the Node2i for the streamer part.

Andy2 what's the impact  of the distortion spectrum on the relevant noise floor?

It's like twisting wire creates some sort of filter for radio frequency. I wonder if I could patent that idea??

That was a good YouTube by Rob Watts. Thanks for the link.

I was talking to noname he's the one who brought up pseudoscience not you.

I don't think you understand the meaning of pseudoscience. Why don't you Google it Einstein.

IM or intermodulation noise can be reduced below human hearing. Once the random noise floor reaches these levels of -160 dBFS  in a DAC noise from amps, speakers etc.. swamp it. It isn't audible to humans , dolphins maybe. The Benchmark DAC3 offer...
