| Power cable from wall socket to power strip You gave the answer yourself in the description of your situation. If you have not changed the wiring in the walls and up to the socket it’s normal copper wire ... how much difference do you think it makes if you extend that normal copper wire a c... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? Above a certain price pont all speakers are good, yet there will be differences, and no matter how raving reviews are, your taste may differ. Best alternative to a listening test at home would be to visit a HiFi show and audition as many speakers... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium I just got myself a Rolex for a fantastic price at Aliexpress. | |
| Burn in vs perception The moving parts should be greased regularly. | |
| How do I switch from Wi-Fi to Ethernet cables? The OP @imaninatural mentioned a desire to move from wifi to wired. It was not stated what his/her reasons are. Is it in the hope of better audio quality? Or is it because the wifi has hiccups? Hiccups can probably be mended with a wifi extender ... | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout To anyone who likes to read some more on the subject, this articles contains views from several sources: https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/why-usb-cables-can-make-a-difference/ | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout I understand guys ... apparently there are differences in the data transmission capabilities of digital cables and depending on the quality of the rest of the gear some may hear it and some may less so. Listen and let your ears and your wallet do ... | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout Thanks for the story and the insights on the importance of timing @ghasley I think I best plug my USB stick directly into the DAC ... cheapest solution! :) | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout @svenjosh Thanks for trying to help demistify the possible causes that make that digital cables can sound different. Just to clarify, it was not my intention to create turmoil here, which seemed to have happened. I am genuinely interested in how c... | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout @lalitk lol, seems we both read that same article. (EDIT: I thought it was by Nordost but that was just an add, the article was by gcaudio.) I thought it somewhat written in laymen’s terms, not very scientific. I guess there’s no point in discussi... | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout @svenjosh The effort taken to test and to post is appreciated. And an audible improvement is gained that is worth the investment, that is great. I was just wondering if someone would be able to explain what changes happen in the digital domain du... | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout @lalitk I consider myself as an inbetweenist. I have a hard time ’believing’ stuff when no one can explain it. I understand that cables can have an impact on sound in the analog domain (although even that is already hard for me :) ). I already hav... | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout @lordmelton 'digital noise' ... meaning ... bits or bytes get lost or altered during transfer from one end of the cable to the other end? In that case we would not be able to transfer a software file without errors. But we are ... gigabytes withou... | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout Can someone explain technically how / why the sound of digital audio can differ between cables? I can't imagine a cable loses bits, otherwise I can't transfer gigabytes of file data over a USB cable without errors. Is it jitter? Is the data not b... | |
| Law Of Diminishing Returns? At a certain point it is not about the cost of the electronic circuitry or materials used anymore, it's about making a luxury statement similar to why someone would buy an overly expensive wrist watch. |
