Everything Matters With Digital


Everything matters with digital.

Oh yeah.

Ignore those folks as they are just being ignorant.....on purpose.  Why? Because they have chosen to be ignorant by not accumulating any actual listening experience with all the wonderful digital audio innovations coming out.  They should just be ignored.  Hard to do, but we have no other choice. 
Naysayers here and psychologically crippled forums like Audioscience inspired me to order an Uptone etherREGEN today.  So far I have been impressed by "audiophile" innovations in the Ethernet/USB domain.  My wallet is open to experiments-- within reasonable limits-- which are modest relative to the trend toward overarching prices in analog audio. 
That is a great unit! I am looking at daisy chaining it after my SOTM Switch. That unit comes with a trial period so you have nothing to lose financially and can experience first hand if the unit is a worthwhile addition.
Dougey seems to believe because he can’t hear, that others can’t hear what he cannot. Some believe the ones who don’t hear, do so out of bias, stubbornness, can’t afford and not willing to admit to hear because they can’t afford it. I’ll assume that at least some honestly don’t hear. And I bet that in the same listening that someone might hear something that I cannot, or something I think is so slight as to be meaningless, like when you get an eye examine and they ask is this one better, or this one. Ehhh, well, they’re both so close I can say one is better. Someone might think it’s night and day. I approach it with an open mind, I either hear, or it don’t. If I don’t, I’m obviously not parting with my money, if I do, then it’s a cost vs performance question. Is it worth the cost, to me.
