glupson, you're certainly right about the emotional level raised over cable issues. While I've been late to this party, it's been entertaining at the very least. I've admittedly enjoyed this thread and ALL the commentary offered herein.
I'm actually awaiting a DAC to arrive today to play my .wav files from my laptop. Once it arrives, I intend to retire to my listening room, enjoy some legal Cdn product and feed my ears for a few hours.
Wonderful meeting you all and look forward to more in the future - different topic though.
May your ears and bellies be full! Be well all.
