Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why ....
@willywonka I had a feeling that you will avoid answering my simple query. I see that you have modified your original post. Would you be kind enough to tell the readers, how to properly setup a PC for streaming?

Upsampling, Can there be too much?
@vonhelmholtz In this discussion, we are not talking about mastering in pro studio. My initial post was in context of upsampling at consumer grade level, which nets nothing; all that perceived detail is nothing but a form of distortion. I do se... 
Upsampling, Can there be too much?

Chord Dave and lInear power supply
“I’m a big believer in a good power supply” @carlsbad I share your beliefs 💯 . I am sure the stock power supply performs well but until you have compared a modified Dave with Farad PS side by side, you do not know what you’re missing out. That F... 
Chord Dave and lInear power supply
