| Why Do Cables Matter? @ieales ”Just for laughs, when I see a patent on HiFi gear these days, I read it... ... if I can while ROTFLMFAO 🤣” Applying for and receiving a US patent requires that the product designer provide some plausible engineering principles to supp... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @asctim says: ”If someone was curious to hear more clearly what various cables do to the sound, it seems they could be tried with long cable runs, like maybe 100 feet. Surely that would exaggerate whatever change the cable is making compared to a... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? At least some designers of high end cables have obtained patents for their products and designs. https://patents.justia.com/inventor/caelin-gabriel And these patent applications have received some review by qualified engineers to determine if th... | |

| Any problems streaming 24/192 files to external DAC from Bluesound Node? I also upgraded the Arcam irDAC to a Chord Electronics QuteHD which made a huge positive difference in system performance. The Node is really very good for what it costs, and the streamer/server functions are far better than the internal DAC in m... | |
| Any problems streaming 24/192 files to external DAC from Bluesound Node? @alcecena I not quite sure what you’re saying here. Yes the node can definitely output 24/192 files via RCA coax, with fairly high quality. And I only think it can only output up to 24/96 files via Toslink, although it’s been a while since I che... | |
| Yes, digital cables matter too @nonoise glad that worked out for you. It is the best Toslink cable I’ve tried so far. | |
| Prospectives on Chi-Fi Putting politics aside and just looking at the facts, this ship sailed a long time ago, when western based multinational corporations saw an opportunity to destroy unions and make products abroad and sell them at back home at a dollar on the cent ... | |
| Yes, digital cables matter too @lowrider57 I finally got around to purchasing a coax cable and selected a used Chord Signature Super ARAY at 1m length. It was a reasonable deal and sounds terrific in my system. Thanks for the conversation and input. kn | |

| Does your system sound “better” after being away? @pabs85 good and often overlooked point, the hobby should have some connection to musicality to the listener’s ear, and not just about hifi pyrotechnics. But. While I have liked well recorded classical music on my analogue front end for some tim... | |

| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN Thanks for this. Looks like the majority of respondents appreciate having upgraded power cables. I do. This is how I would have answered the survey. Here’s the complete survey for those who didn’t have the opportunity to complete it (or, can... |
