How crucial is the quality of a digital cable?
Just bits and bites, right? Well, yes. That is true. As has been mention previously, the issue is not with the contents, but how it travels through the cable and if there is contamination or timing errors. In many respects, both digital and a... 
Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps
Probably as they are soft and mellow, lacking any resemblance to realism.   
Open Baffle Experience
Open baffle seems like a terrific idea. Unfortunately there's unusually a wall behind them.  
Nobosound Springs
I'll take isolation devices over springs every time as the premise seems flawed. I do like the term nob o' sound though.  
Disappearing Jazz?
If you are looking for some ideas, why not tune in to Tampa Bay Smooth Jazz?  
CAMBRIDGE AUDIO CXC V2 EXPERIENCE
I concur with what's been said, although if you want hear how spectacular it can really sound, you need to open up the case and add some grounded shielding. No need to mess with the wiring or anything like that.  
Audioquest Diamond Toslink
It has been removed from Audioquest as the materials to manufacture it are no longer available.  
Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10
I failed to mention one thing the power supply upgrade to the NODE won't help is the average performance of its DAC. My NODE is connected to a Matrix Audio X-Sabre Pro MQA DAC and the improvement is unbelievable. No matter what people think of MQA... 
Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10
Getting AC out of the Node is a no brainer and could well satisfy your needs. There's unlikely to be many who can compare the two. In any case, considering the cost it'd be better to try it out for yourself.  
Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10
The iPad is a way to control the Blusound. Streaming is over a LAN. Getting the AC mains out of the Bluesound Node and adding a decent 5v supply is a worthwhile improvement. Bluesound Node 2021 (gen.3) upgrade – low noise PSU interface    
Cable burn in
I find it hard to believe the claim that "changing a piece of wire" will not produced an improvement. If it were at all true then all that's need is a thin fuse wire provided it can handle the current. A bit like claiming digital is just 0's and ... 
ETHERNET CABLES
@painter24 I've used a similar kit by TP Link between my router feed and Node N130. The best improvement I achieved with my Node 130 was to replace the AC power board with a DC power board and a 5v iFi audio iPower X Low Noise Power Supply.   ... 
What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
Stand Mounts act like an antenna and should be grounded.  
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
Measurements come a close second to how's it sound! Normally I take ASR reviews with a grain of salt. I did purchase the Matrix Audio X-SABRE Pro MQA: Best Audio DAC in the World? and couldn't be happier. I often listen to TuneIn with a Denon f... 
The Beatles Revolver
I'm so sick and tired of reading comments like "it's all about the money" as if there is something wrong with private enterprise. At the end of the day, that's how society develops and moves forward. Is there really anything wrong with creating a...
