What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
I optimized some flac files on a windows 10 computer and couldn't tell any difference if anything the original flac sounded better than the optimized file but that's not listening blind so take it with a grain of salt.  
Hard to believe all the crap that flows thru an ethernet cable
If wireless works, it didn't for me to many dropouts, that would take care of noise problems. Could be a ground issue.

I connect my streamer to my router with Cat6a cable about 50ft long since the router is in my home office..

Maybe someday there will be new models that will help reveal the secret of the sound and direction of the wires. RepoIf these new models don't agree with your preconceptions and biases you'll dismiss them as well. 
Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?
The article on scientism is nonsense. I've read it,  it's so full of holes to be useless. Simple example. True science means accepting that human knowledge is limited, and present theories are provisional and incomplete. True science means being w... 
Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?
Measurements and technology is science, not all science is theoretical it's also practical.  Scientists use measurements and technology all the time to test theories and in audio to test what they hear. For instance Lars Risbo when developing a ne...

Just for reference what sort of "crap" are you hearing or measuring? If this is another everyone says there's crap so there must be crap and I need to worry about it question, then ignore my question.  
Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?
To what end? If I am going to need to listen to the audio equipment to decide how it sounds, what possible value does the results obtained from test tones give me?Test tones can show distortion and noise better than music. Test tones are well chos... 
Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components?
I don't own any Harman products either but I recognize the importance of those tests. I think since the time they were conducted and now there are speaker manufacturers who are influenced by them at least in the pro market.  
True or False?
Winner!!!Most ignorant comment of the year (so far).djones51 said:"FALSE, the cost doesn't matter. Tweaks are useless in an inexpensive, moderate or expensive system."Thanks roxy54 and I mean that sincerely.

Why is science incapable of providing even the slightest indication why equipment is judged by knowledgeable people as superior?Science is capable of providing the slightest indication that you might start wondering just how knowledgeable these "p...

The Anthem AVM 60 Preamp Processor is a good case in point.If you understood the measurements you would see why it got a headless panther. You would also see where Anthem thought the unit might have been faulty so they sent another unit to be test... 
Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?
Test tones are a good indication if your component is capable of delivering the musical signal in its entirety so you can decide how it sounds.  
Why is science just a starting point and not an end point?
Science records, stores, reproduces and delivers music to your ears. How it sounds is user defined.
