USB C power cables
The USB C standard in general. From fast charging to greater theoretical data limits, it is superior.I read about this in a whitepaper once. This was when my team was migrating all departments/faculty over to new computers.

Yup.You are all free to share your opinions.Not here to argue.  
Accuphase e800 or luxman m900u for sonus faber olympica nova 3
The Accuphase may provide more depth, a livelier experience and greater overall textural resolve than the Luxman. The Luxman may sound a little "boring" if musical enjoyment is what you’re about. Both provide high quality amplification.While both ... 
So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences?
Okay @soix Read all of this carefully before replying...The problem with folks who tend to disagree with others on this site is...1) they are too opinionated (and easily offended)2) they don't provide any backing to their claims (believe they have...

USB C has much lower EMI than other cables. It would be ideal for powering up a device so long as it is supported.

@cd318 I know your response was to @mahgister but you mentioned wanting a more accurate headphone.For that, the Sony M1ST (newest iteration) is a strong candidate.

Speaker cable advice
Aftermarket cables for headphones is an easy way to test silver vs copper cables. I've done it before and there is a difference.The difference is slight, but it exists. If you wish to test it on your system..ask a dealer to loan you a cable to try... 
Speaker cable advice
Avoid anything that is silver-plated. Anything with silver will make your system sound brighter. (Conductivity at 106%) Go for a continous cast copper with high purity. 
Schiit Bifrost Multibit vs. Arcam irDAC
I'd recommend looking up these products on audiosciencereview.Try to find some measurements. Bel Canto DACs have something similar to a master clock, so performance will be nearly identical to a flagship-grade CD player. 
What are some of your best thrift store or "give-away" AUDIOPHILE WORTHY finds!
A vintage Sony power amp.It was nice, but a bit too warm sounding.I sold it for a lot. Lol 
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
CD vs streaming quality ...CDs use land and pit to read the impressions (grooves) made by a laser as 0s and 1s. Streaming with Wi-Fi is pretty good. New iterations of Bluetooth 5.0 that include other codecs above 320kbps may sound identical to CD ...

Headphones and speakers are just different. In terms of raw performance (value for the money) headphones are going to outclass speakers. Building an accurate headphone is easier for a manufacturer to get right - Since headphones have miniature dri... 
Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?
@jjss49 You actually believed I was being serious. That’s a joke in itself. If I'm going to buy something, I shop local or from trusted dealers close to where I live. Why must anyone buy something on this site? The forums are an excellent way to g...
