A/B Comparison On A Pair Of Moderately Priced Streamers

Music, when digitised, has two dimensions. It has amplitude, ie loudness, and it has frequency. When being recorded it is sampled at a precise rate. If the data isn’t presented to the DAC at precisely the same timing of the original sampling when...

Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up
Ethernet isolators designed for medical use are just to stop DC currents flowing from one device to another, for safety reasons. They have no components inside to filter out RFI or other high frequency electrical noise. They consist of an input RJ... 
How does cable construction affect sonic character?
A good sommelier can determine by taste which particular area a wine comes from, which grape, even which particular vineyard and which year. It comes from experience and his/her hyper-sensitive taste buds and smell. Can a laboratory instrument cap...
