But for me to increase the positive change i must know where and how and what i have doneThe it isn't a blind test. A blind test and passing would be removing one thing without your knowledge and you can tell a difference more times than chance.

There is no such thing that a sound without "color"Which is why I said before the amp. If the signal over noise and distortion on the analog outputs of the DAC is below human hearing then it’s transparent and all those streamers, switches and rout...

Don't think so. Once something is transparent it can't get more transparent. I could add things to color in different ways but not me . Streaming over ethernet isn't rocket science and as long as you have good basic components and your noise floor... 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
I watched the video,  didn't tell me anything new but he didn't seem as annoying as I remember from other videos. Another guy that I find annoying is the PS Audio guy. Not saying they aren't smarter than me or don't know their stuff just don't car... 
Removing a ZERO from the price of amps
The NAD with Purifi is the M33. It suppose to be out now, might be delayed with the virus problem. A bit pricey but it has Dirac, DAC, streamer.https://nadelectronics.com/nad-masters-m33-bluos-streaming-dac-amplifier-becomes-first-integrated-co...

I stream all my music from either services or ripped files. I have a basic Netgear modem and router. I network a NUC running roon in my office to a raspberry pi4 running Ropiee with RAAT roon's transport protocol on my network. I then connect the ...

Actually hundreds of reviews could all be wrong. Appeal to the people isn't a very good reason to spend money.

Not surprising, noone here would consider me a true audiophile and I would probably flunk the test too. 😳

This is about amplifiers but it's applicable to everything in audio. It's from Bruno Putzey paper 'The F-word or why there is no such thing as to much feedback" whether you agree doesn't really matter to the quote.The avoidance of feedback, specif...

The white paper linked to earlier is another attempt to wow with nonsense. It talks about line jitter leaking into your DAC and causing all sorts of nasties. So they use very precise clocks to control this. Only problem with this fix is ethernet l...

I read the part about EMI/RFI noise produced.  I paid particular notice to this and what followed.The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) publishes specific regulations to limit the amount of EMI and RFI emitted by computing equipment. Each sy... 
A challenge to the "measurement" camp
I didn't watch the video. When I saw who it was I turned it off. I figured it would be something goofy.  
Who says cables don't make a difference?
Truth is not experience, object, or opinion, or even concept, it is the emptiness where all there is is »- written on a china wall in ruins.Those crazy eastern philosophies. In yoga there are the 5 yamas the first ahimsa is non-violence the second...

Wire changing radio waves into electrical energy sounds like an antenna to me. Didn't they have any insulation on the wire?  
Anybody want a laugh?
The notion of these things is they clean EMI and RF noise that can leak in and carry on the wires. They don't really do anything to the digital signal. The wires after the switch to the streamer might pick up more noise which this thing isn't goin...
