Hi kijanki, thank you for the clarification which I understand.
My statement was a straw man assumption which I put forward for us to debate. It is “absolute” on purpose, like a math equation that we are trying to prove wrong. Sorry if I wasn’t clear about that and it sounded like I was saying that I know it is correct. Which I don’t.
The revised statement which is now informed by further feedback from two designer experts is that so long as we receive bit perfect signal via fiber optic cable through a converter that is clocked to the dac we get a signal that can’t be improved with expensive streamers. One said “everything before the conversion doesn’t matter at all”.
Some other arguments against this include that one may be introducing electrical noise to the house’s electrical system before the fiber and also that one may be introducing airborne ref. I suspect these are negligible in real life conditions especially as one can move the server to another room.
I repeat this is an assumption for debate although we now have many facts in its favor. And I hope it helps people save money and focus their spending on equipment that matters.
What I am baffled by is 3-4 responses which were not only rude but also paradoxical: bashing an effort to emulate the scientific method whilst using such science based equipment. Maybe it’s the snake oil they put on their salad.
All the best and thanks to those who tried to explain and help. M.
