So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...

The streamer met the requirements I was looking for. I could have assembled a cheaper alternative but I didn't want to bother with getting the AES3 board from France which is the only place I could find one. I listened to 5 different streamers I could tell no difference in sound so I bought the one I liked. It was a subjective decision. 

I admit I never tried reversing the ethernet cable or AES3 cables. Perhaps that would have clinched the deal for a more expensive streamer. 

So telling of a particular thought process that apparently is hard to shake.

It's easy for me to change my view all it takes is evidence. 

Yep...I’m clueless on why people can be so gullible when it comes to audio and signal flow.

Save for some "snake oil" products on the market the other ignorant marketing ploy is reducing audio experience to pure new upgrading electronical design who measure better fort sure.... 😁

ACOUSTIC is the fundamental fact my dear.... NOT the signals....

Any relatively good gear can convey signals in a relative acceptable way... It is easy to buy some "good" gear able to convey "signals" relatively well....

But the misinformation of most audiophiles and "objectivists" heads ESPECIALLY is about the ignorance of the  huge importance of acoustic and ESPECIALLY about psychoacoustic ... The "measuring better new highly priced design" is a DECEPTION of his own also and insisting on it, instead of pointing to acoustic importance, is an half truth worst than a lie........And reducing audio qualities to measures participate of this MARKETING general delusion...

Eat your signals....

My 500 bucks system convey very well the signals....

By the way each of my ear listen not to "signals" BUT to the first wavefront coming from my controlled room and my ears/brain recreate all aspects of sound experience with the 2 different message of my ears....All my room is a distributed set of pressure zones marked out for making easier the brain job....

I trust my ears not your "measured signals"...

If you have study electronic engineering now begin to study psychoacoustic....But beware acoustian USE their ears...You will be obliged to change your tune and stop insulting people....

It’s easy for me to change my view all it takes is evidence.

The problem you dont seems aware at all and the vicious circle where you put yourself in, like someone painting himself in a corner, is that the first and last evidence in audio are AUDIBLE experience WITH your ears.... Measures process and written evidence with numbers are  in between....

Think few seconds to understand why this is so.... If you cannot you are out of any help....

edgewound"I'm clueless on why people can be so gullible when it comes to audio and signal flow."

Yes it could be that people are gullible and unable to comprehend the basic, fundamental operative variables that influence audio and signal flow. They do not know how to listen, what to listen for, or how to avoid being deluded, insane and so porfoundly ignorant as to border on stupid. Yes that is "possible!!"

It is also possible that you are nothing but a troll but reading you're posts I think that you are really just consumed with you're own self, impressed with your knowledge, wisdom, powers of analysis, acute perception, infallible logic, penetrating powerful intellect, piercing comprehension and an unfailing, unlfinching, unbending urge to impress others so that they'll be as impressed with you as you are with yourself.

@clearthink...it sounds like you’re looking in the mirror as you wrote that.

But… Thanks for the compliments.
