Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality?
i don’t feel a complete, enlightened, well rounded discussion about sound quality of hifi gear would focus heavily (much less exclusively) on the notion of presented 'detail' in the music ... relative noobs tend to go for that, but if they stick w...

Listening to music I don’t particularly like
I don’t think that anyone here doesn’t take into account the sound of his system when making a selection of what to play. And no matter what the musical content, the sound is important. Having said that, if you make that selection solely on the b...

op you'll need to tell me the speaker, then i can give you a proper answer very different answers for say driving a wilson or mbl, a spendor or harbeth, an avantgarde trio... right? the question asked in a vacuum is rather pointless  
Should this be considered if we already have a high quality DAC?
i denied this for a good while, but i now do believe that a better ethernet switch does matter over a bottom of barrel, cheapo, poorly designed one in preserving/enhancing sound quality of a digital feed that said, whether one as expensive as the...

anyone have experience with both the Schiit Gungnir Multibit and PS Audio DirectStream
I've done some research and I've been told that  the relay click is used to switch between different "sample rates and bit depths".   So if you're listening to an album that was all recorded (digitally) identically, you will get no click.  If the...
