| Why Do Cables Matter? @donavabdear Have you ever been involved in a blind test comparing an array of, say, digital cables of different price points and quality rotated in a decent (not even SOTA) home sound system in a purpose built listening room and comparing acros... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @donavabdear You say: ”Super turbo mega cables inserted between a skinny fuse and the crossover wire a speaker can't make a difference just like inserting a firehose between two garden hoses can't make a difference. In physics in called Kickoffs... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @donavabdear we are apparently talking past each other here a bit. To the degree you called me out on that, you sound like my wife. She is quite smart, so that’s a compliment. Like others who just posted to this thread, I never said I was try... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? I trained as a biological oceanographer, and my experience with electronics beyond plugging them in and turning them on is taking delicate research instruments out of the ocean where a seal leaked and trying to resuscitate them 1,000 away from the... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @yoyoyaya says in response to @donavabdear : “Your argument implies that because recordings are made with components of a particular level of quality, then using better quality components to reproduce them is pointless. That argument is specious f... | |
| 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 ... |
