Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money?
+2, @richtruss  In addition to high quality Ethernet switch with LPS and Filter (passive or active), a streamer or server designed specifically for audio is just as important.

“maybe if one day I can grasp one reason why those things work, I will.” @lmcmalo Here is one reason you stated in your first post, 2nd paragraph 😊 “I believe just about anything can affect sound.”

@sns, Nope, I wasn’t referring to you or your mac-mini setup. I’ve been approached by few with similar setups seeking advice on how to improve the sound. So my comment in previous post ‘if as an example’ was in that context.

@arafiq Your feedback solidifies that everything matters in a well put together audio system. I’m glad to hear all the recent additions yielding to superior listening experience and that’s what matters at the end of the day!

“Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money?” @david_ten, Yes!!! And this is not limited to audio :-) As with anything else in life, striking a ‘balance’ is the key. IME, careful selection of fewer high quality components and ‘sen... 
Cullen or Audio Envy PC?
@soix I would go with AE since they use OCC copper which is superior in transparency, has a better extension and naturalness (effortless) over OFC. But honestly, for a few dollars more you’re getting a much superior cable from Zavfino.

“Ethernet ’re-clocker’ aren’t more of a thing than dry water,” @lmcmalo You may choose to believe that or try one of the audio grade switches and report your findings. I believe your system is good enough to render any subtle changes with a swi...

“the devil is in the detail” @antigrunge2 I concur and that’s quite a audio system you’ve got…wow! It certainly reflects your pursuit and passion for our hobby. I’ve much simpler system compare to yours :-)  
Cullen or Audio Envy PC?
@soix I suggest you try the Fina PC from Zavfino. This cord should trump both Cullen and AE. I have past experiences with both Cullen and AE and there is no contest when it comes to natural and overall balanced presentation with Zavfino PC’s. An...

@westcoastaudiophile  Do you feel P-4500 offers any compromises over A-48’s pure class A watts?

@antigrunge2  I always appreciated your contributions here. But honestly, I’ve lost track of all gazillion tweaks you have reported :-) It would be helpful for readers to learn about all the components in your system.  Why not post your system in... 
What is the best USB cable under $500 for a natural presentation and good detail ?
“I’ve forgotten more about audio than you will ever know.” And its very clear whatever you’ve learned or retained not even worth reading 🤣 Keep on trolling!

@timo62  Great call on recent additions. The USBIII cable is exemplary, one of the most natural and transparent cable gone through my system. I am no longer using their USB or ENO filter but wouldn’t hesitate recommending these fine products to a... 
Calling All Ex - Shindo Preamp Owners
@longinc Shindo currently making two 300B amps (8W) and one CV391 push pull 20W amp. Now if you compare this lineup with past amps, you will know exactly why I meant by limited choices. If I were to venture again into Shindo, my dream system wo...
