Does a Class D amp match well with Thiel Speakers?
"Anybody understand what Dob is talking about??? Doesn't make much sense to me what he is saying. "Soundlock, I am sure you have attended live acoustic music concerts. How was your experience there? Was resolution sufficiently high for you, soundt...

Totally disagree with MAPMAN. Cannot disagree more.I want to be grabbed by music, I want to experience trans similar or identical I have inside symphonic hall. I do not give a dumn if musicians there play with high resolution or no resolution I wa...

Will a quality USB cable make a difference....
"Certainly async USB protocol using USB 2.0 is better than adaptive mode "Certianly it is widely accepted now - however, the emphasis is only in receiver i.e. USB port of USB DAC or USB/SPDIF adaptor.Assuming that you have already USB DAC with asy... 
Will a quality USB cable make a difference....
