USB Cable
Worse yet, where is just looking at the actual problem?  What is wrong with your current USB cable?  If a dime store cable, probably poor shielding and it can introduce noise into the ground of your DAC.  A "decent" cable, say one from Belden 8733... 
Need advice on media player and or dacs
 I have never bought a sub. I do have some observations over the years having built quite a few on what to pick: I find low Q sealed subs to blend with the room gain better than ported. Less group delay, no port noise. To me, they sound more prec... 
Testing Ethernet switch
 I agree totally, this forum is audio applications and most are not coms people, but we use coms and as I am one, ( yea, and I too have a stack of classes and certifications) I was trying to help those who are not.  If you don't want that help, fi... 
Audiophile Optimizer / Fidelizer
 PDF is not available and talks Windows 2012.  Red flag, a software download and says "shipping calculated on checkout" ?   I sent them a query.   
Audiophile Optimizer / Fidelizer
From their WEB, it says Windows core. https://shop.highend-audiopc.com/products/audiophileoptimizer It also says DSP but bit perfect which is contradictory.  I wonder what it does that JRiver DSP plugins don;t. I run JRiver, exclusive, asynchron... 
Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature
Schiit Frea+  
CD Transport
Schiit introduced one as well.   They claim it is not a re-boxed computer DVD drive suggesting some others are.  I  put everything in FLAC as I ran out of shelf space for disks. Easier. So my PC DVD is my drive.  No issues with stability, skips, ...

Not all AVR's are created equal.  Anthems, for instance, are quite good musically. Their amps are very good as you know.  ARC seems to work better than the other auto-eq systems. Speakers and room are way more important than the electronics.  Dif... 
Testing Ethernet switch
Amir believes classical measurements are the end all. He does not even want to discuss the points made by the lead engineer who designed his test equipment that these classical measures are incomplete. His measurements are well done and can provid...

More snide remarks. No identification or properties.   
Testing Ethernet switch
Still no identification of either factual errors on my part or what the mystery "other things" may be.   
Testing Ethernet switch
nonoise, What do you find as a factual fault with my statements?  So far, only opinions have been expressed along with less that forum cordial comments.   If I have made a factual error, please enlighten me. I try to learn something every day.  ... 
Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like?
Be it class D or similar switching technology, it is the future.  Linear amps of all kinds will become a niche market. The only good thing about that is the great progress that has been made in both quality of the amps, and in understanding what k... 
Testing Ethernet switch
Anyone, please identify, or even a guess what these " other things carried along " are so they could be investigated.  DC offset? RF?  A ground loop causing client ground noise?  All these should be taken care of by the client. Hans is one of the ... 
Recommendations for 7 channel amp
Outlaw for class A/B.  Might also check ATI and Monolith. Or three VIdar's :) Buckeye for class D Purify. Not sure if VTV has a 7 channel.
