| Everything Matters With Digital The main things that matter in digital are the source files the ADC that converts and the DAC that converts. If your DAC isn't up to modern specs in regard to isolation, filtering and reconstruction then these other superfluous items can make a d... | |

| A challenge to the "measurement" camp they assume you will want to use a high end cord with their producthttps://www.redbubble.com/i/greeting-card/Young-Frankenstein-Igor-Well-they-were-wrong-then-weren-t-... | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp Here's a good surge protector power conditioner without MOV's . Looks like it might be to much trouble to replace their slim and tiny cable. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SA1810--surgex-sa1810 | |
| Anybody want a laugh? I thought those things were simply "art" but it seems they are claiming something about acoustics of your room? Tibetan meditation bowls? Just buy those they're cheaper and they sound nice. https://www.amazon.com/Tibetan-Singing-Bowl-Set-Handcraft... | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp I can't imagine anyone dumb enough to buy a power conditioner with a "slim and tiny" power cable. Ones I've seen have a cable thick as your thumb. I had one the power cord was not removable. Company be pretty stupid to sell power conditioners with... | |
| Inexpensive DAC: Schiit Modi 3 or Topping D30 Schiit modi 3 uses the AK4490 which is a good chip not sure how much design went into a $99 DAC . I doubt in a blind test a difference could be heard between the two DAC just get the cheaper one with the features you need, inputs etc.. | |

| Node 2i vs. Cambridge CXN (V2) for Tidal? I used Tidal for a time then tried Quboz and liked it better. The NAD isn't using the same DAC as the Node2i. If you like the Cambridge I wouldn't let MQA deter me I could never tell a difference between albums that had it compared to the same alb... | |
| Node 2i vs. Cambridge CXN (V2) for Tidal? I guess it depends if you’re happy with your DAC. You’re right the module doesn’t have digital out so you would be stuck with the DAC in the NAD. The Node2i doesn’t have USB out so you would only have coax or optical out. If you want MQA then the ... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? It sounds like some think audiophiles are a different species that didn't evolve with the same biases as Homosapiens. I wonder if their visual acuity is as unbiased and special as their aural they would make great eyewitnesses as opposed to mere h... | |
| Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system I forgot to add in laptop and mic for measurements. Most already have a laptop and you can get a good mic for $75. You might need more for Room than I spent. My room was already pretty dampened and restricted on what all I can do since it isn't de... | |
