yes it sure does, thanks @nigeltheflash  I hear a lot about timing, slow and fast, so I have to learn about the clocking part. I would have thought when analog is converted to digital and it becomes a stream, timing is encoded in the stream, the ...

@ghdprentice and I would add the bigger the space, the harder to get it right? Not sure since I have no experience with bigger spaces.

@nigeltheflash I am sorry I am slow and thick. This is too abstract for me. And let's just focus on the "noise".  Noise from where? The machine noise? Noise in the signal? The signal comes from a server. Travels through a lot a steps, finally ar...

@cleeds   every time I go to a nearby dealer, they point to the "No Loitering" sign and lock the door.

@elliottbnewcombjr I had a very interesting phenomenon, I placed 2 floorstanding speakers next to my standmounts, about 5 inches on the outside. The sound of the standmounts has completely transformed, it helped the speakers disappear and made the...

I adjust and move my speakers 2-3 times a week. Different recordings benefit from different setups, so I don’t think there is one right way. Also, am I in the mood for a wide soundstage or feeling close to the singer, with the instruments in the b...

@mikhailark right I am not saying there is no room for poor processing, flawed transmission. I just don't get the $1,000 vs $20,000 streamer argument.   
why expensive streamers
@mikhailark exactly, a data stream doesn't have any other attributes and qualities, which is why I am still waiting for an explanation, what an expensive streamer does differently than one that "just works"     
Quandary
My 0.0002 cents, an audition that costs more than most people's (not members here) amp/speaker/etc. budget is wild.

@nonoise what does the diagram have to do with streamers?

@wokeuptobose I am really just here to learn. I know nothing, especially about streamers and DACs. So far what I learned here is that the streamer delivers a stream of data, like the mailman delivers my mail. I wouldn’t even know if he delivered i...

@jji666 but they can hear the difference. 😊 sometimes I feel audio is like selling water: seller: this is from mountain x, only 100 bottles a day, the purest buyer: this is a plastic box with H2O    
How much should I expect with a warranty issue from a large retailer/distributor?
I think it's disappointing that such an expensive gear fails. If I had that much money or the tenth of it, I would want to hear it on day one. I would find out by day 3 that it's not 100% working.  Some companies have great reputation, reliabilit...
