| Is optical mostly a waste of time versus Ethernet? So, with all these streaming devices, designers with white papers, a multitude of individuals hearing the benefits of these devices.

| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I believe both @jjss49, @lordmelton honest in their appraisals. In my present setup I concur with some of the sound characteristics both have related. Per usual in audio, no absolute winners, wouldn't expect anything else. One must always be ... | |

| How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music? For me the transition from blues based rock to AOR was when my transition to other genres began.
