| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... @decooney Sure, but also note that the NASA email (granting it's authentic) is concerning a laser diode application that bears little resemblance to audio-scale electrical properties. So, the test is very simple: take a high resolution audio stre... | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... @decooney Just skimmed through it. It's fairly high level and just presents measurements that support their general theory wrt frequency effects, EMI, etc. What is missing is a simple, clear series of experimental measurements of the impact on sou... | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... I look forward to more evidence in the future! I don't see anything here except bland vitriol and bald assertions. There are some negative results conducted by Amir at ASR that seem to fit with expectations based on conventional science, but who k... | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... Now that is interesting and something I hadn't seen before. It is, alas, from 2013 when jitter was a more pressing concern than today with contemporary USB transports, but it does raise some interesting questions. I think it needs a retest! | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... Good for them! I wish them the best! You can disregard my credentials if it makes you uncomfortable. The important question is when are we going to get any good evidence for cables? I would love to learn more from any cable manufacturers or positi... | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... Partially correct, except that I am promoting skepticism about positive claims and specifically suggesting a path towards proving those claims, rather than asking you to simply believe it because of my credentials. | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... Sure, but it certainly would be more fascinating! | |
| Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price... I am always intrigued by these discussions. I keep hoping to learn something new beyond "I'm convinced" and "to those who naysay," etc. Some kind of useful tidbit...but there really is nothing new so far. There are some mildly flawed studies that ... | |
| Are cable “upgrades” just as likely to make your system sound worse? With regard to the Kunchur paper, do note that the comparison is between an XLR ($$$) and RCA connection ($) between the DAC and amp. This was done to avoid complicated switching arrangements, but it certainly adds a confound to the better compari... | |
| What determines a streamers sound quality. The streamer should be chosen based on software support. PCM digital streams contain error correcting codes that reduce or eliminate any transmission errors; what arrives at your DAC is likely exactly what the original file contained. Other opinio... |
