| Who says cables don't make a difference? Digital XLR is AES/EBU or AES3https://benchmarkmedia.com/products/benchmark-digital-xlr-cableDigital RCA is SPDIF Coax https://www.ramelectronics.net/Digital-Audio-SPDIF-Cable.aspxHas to do with the connector type and Ohms. | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? It is my understanding that with VERY low capacitance pre-to-amp interconnects, which the HPC is, and and an equally low amp-input-impedance, a resonance circuitI might be wrong but I think this is only important (capacitance of cable) between a t... | |
| to my ears digital audio does not sound natural? something is wrong! All reproduced audio is man made analog or digital. | |
| Is Roon Nucleus the best choice for Roon Core and as server? If you can follow instructions you can assemble your own dedicated ROCK server. Mine cost about $600 not counting the price of Roon. The OS is free.https://kb.roonlabs.com/Roon_Optimized_Core_Kit If you use Roons OS you don’t need a streamer just ... | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp , which measurement parameters are you inquiring? Just a 20hz to 20khz sweep from your speakers. Use two different speaker cables in the same system and room. I can tell from that which gives the flattest response which will be the best cable. Wh... | |
| Is Roon Nucleus the best choice for Roon Core and as server? Hard to say what's best but the Nucleus would work. How many GB's of music do you have and what's your budget? | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp The 1995 test doesn't look like it's telling me anything. What's the relationship between these measurements and the sound that comes out of the speaker? Wouldn't it have been better to test that instead of between the terminals. Different metals ... | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp For example, if I have a set of cable, and a set of measurement for eachindividual cable, can you tell me which is the best cable based on measurementalone? I will supply all the measurement you want.After all, that is what you’re after right? Obj... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? That’s how faith works. IOW, to the faithful, no evidence is necessary, and to a non-believer, no evidence is possible.Evidence is always possible. | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? djones51 - I would recommend "Evidence That Demands A Verdict" Why? The implication was atheists look for evidence to support their position. I don't think the book you're recommending does that. I'm not questioning anyone's beliefs. | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Can’t believe that people still think that cables don’t make a differenceI guess I could really blow your mind if I said I don't think DACs make all that much difference anymore either. At least if you're looking for transparency not coloration. | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? I'm not following your logic. I'm an atheist but I've never looked for any evidence to support it. I'm not sure where I would look or why. | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? I need one of those stick hats it would really help in social distancing. | |
| Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other I ordered Dameronia with Strings on XRCD24 Directly recorded to half-inch analog tape• Mastered Using K2 Technology!• Mastered by Tohru Kotetsu at JVC Mastering Studio in JapanI'll see if I can tell a difference to Flac 44.1 on Quboz. | |
| Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other Ferit Odom's Dameronia with Strings sounds really good on Quboz flac 44.1 |
