Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now?
@bigfatpaulie : a big CONGRATULATIONS to you! Also, thank you very much for coming back and updating this thread.  
If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound?
Sorry Jasonborne, cables and transport matter, in my experience anyway. No need to apologize to this human being . That’s his full time job

It’s so funny, people like Jason Bourne who shout “blind tests” in your face, never do any blind tests for themselves! 😂🤔. Why? Because they believe everything sounds the same, thus nothing to prove to themselves or anyone else.   
I have perfected my network for the nth time
This has nothing to do with Buffering. And nothing to do with internet signals passing through ethernet lines. In other words, people don't go through such lengths in optimizing their streaming setups simply to assure bits are transferred. Everyon...

@mapman : Why? Because I like to learn My friend, if you think you can learn by debunking internet threads via posting 22,000+ times you are grossly mistaken I am afraid

@mapman : I am not the one making any claims in this thread so there is nothing for me to prove.  With outmost due respect, what are you actually saying? You asked for proof. No? Copy / paste: mapman 21,253 posts 08-08-2023 at 07:02pm  ...

mapman 21,252 posts 08-08-2023 at 09:02pm  Ok I’ll settle for some pictures and a description of the entire system used.  I’m assuming there is an amp and speakers in there somewhere?  Maybe I missed it.  Details, details.   Let’s start wi...

Perlisten S5t
rgottschalk 2 posts 08-08-2023 at 06:33am  I had them for a minute.  Knew little about them when I acquired them other than I enjoyed them more Magico A5 in the same price range.  I returned them once I found they were Chifi. Not because of qu... 
Perlisten S5t

Bad news for home theater enthusiasts
@fredrik222 : Kaleidascape is a streaming service, and it starts at 7k, which is the one I have, and it has superior quality to Bluray.  So you bitch and moan about people paying a few hundred bucks for cables or Ethernet filters and tweaks, b... 
BEST CD TRANSPORT

Puron Plug-In AC Power Conditioner; Impressions 😁
2) I guess the Puron just shares a 2 plug receptacle with the other outlet having my amp plugged in?  3) You describe using 2 - so assuming the above is correct you have 4 or more female wall receps and each one holds a Puron unit?  With a sta...
