Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system
50% at most must be attributed to the parts of the audio systems, more than 50 % to the complex embeddings...Which is the use of marvellous pricey speakers in a bad acoustical room?

Yes i understand that.... But for me to increase the positive change i must know where and how and what i have done... At the end the change is so great and big, i will take the blind test.... It will be easy to win , but in my house, with my file... 
Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system
More than 50% and probably under 60 % of the increased S.Q. will come from a rightfull mechanical, electrical, and acoustical embeddings...Then choosing well electronic components without figuring how to embed them will be costly in dollars and in...

Blind testing cannot even " perfectly" prove anything.... But supposing it can, it will disprove a particular change and only one...The art of audio embeddings imply a successive incremental chain of positive changes.... For that no blind testing ... 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
i understand but this decoupling cannot be perfect or absolute no? there is a trade-off implicated in the decoupling itsef....With or without power cord.... The regenerator is always linked to the electrical grid of the house and change the genera... 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
Any power regenerator will introduce a noise of his own making by the mere presence of his electronic components...His design is the results of a wise trade-off  created by the original designer... If we introduce this power regenerator in a parti...

Which is why I said before the amp. If the signal over noise and distortion on the analog outputs of the DAC is below human hearing then it’s transparent and all those streamers, switches and routers and whatever upstream doesn’t amount to diddle...

There is no such thing : a sound without "color"....An uncolored sound means nothing in an absolute sense...All sound coming from a room, a particular house, a specific electrical grid, a particular audio system is colored in some way for some par...

i begins to hears in an indirect way the noise floor of my audio system when i begins to controls the electrical grid of my house and the noise floor of my audio system.... Not before.... :)A hum or a hiss are only particular noise not giving dire... 
Anybody want a laugh?
The noise floor cannot be heard by itself.... Only when we modify the electrcal grid and then perceive new details .... Perceiving directly the noise floor level is most of the times not direct perception except in degraded case of a very high lev...

i prefer my homemade "golden plates" on my router or on the ethernet connection.... Cost: peanuts, results; success....:) In my experience ANYTHING , ANYWHERE, connected in the electrical grid of the house matters to the resulting audible S.Q....I... 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
Please understand that many (most?) audiophiles use there ears as a guide to what sounds best in there system(s). They do that regardless of measurements telling them there shouldn’t be a difference. That is the crux of it, & it ends up as a ...

Interesting post and video .... Thanks roberttdid for the explanation..... 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
Those crazy eastern philosophies. In yoga there are the 5 yamas the first ahimsa is non-violence the second is satya, truthfulness. Centuries ago it was the other way around but they changed it. Why would they do that? The first was always consid... 
Who says cables don't make a difference?
it is not impossible for a cable to make a "difference", but cables make a very expensive tone control. You are right about that for sure.... And it is also my experience....But perhaps it is not the facts or your experience that provoke some neg...
