Does Equipment Break In, or Does Our Hearing Adjust?
You get used to the sound there is very little "breaking in" after a few seconds to minutes even with speakers.    
Splitting Signal to Multiple DAC’s
These are used as impedance transformer to take the output from  the Henry 110 Ohm to 75 Ohm as all outputs on the Henry are 110 Ohm. You would need one for every DAC that doesn't have AES3 inputs. I've not used this product but have used Hosa pro... 
Splitting Signal to Multiple DAC’s
You could use This and if your DACs don't have AES3 in use These. The reason this type of splitter mainly uses AES3 is because they're used in professional situations.   
Basic Roon Question
You don't need roon to stream Quboz. If you're wanting to try it out get something like the Cambridge CXN v2 from Crutchfield with a 60 day audition period that should be enough time to decide if it's something you wish to do.   
Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited?
This sort of marketing hyperbole is what drives me nuts about this company. At around the 4:30 mark it sounds like he is claiming they invented the sony/Phillips I2S data format. Even if you can say well he meant the interface to access,  all that... 
What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
Dutch and Dutch 8c   
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
Makes prefect sense, dull, boring cables to record music. Does it record only dull boring music?  The only thing this shows is the need for controlled testing.

Canare shows extensive specs on cables as well. I only use pro cables,  they're built to withstand a lot of abuse and as long as you keep guage, length, connectors in mind shouldn't be any difference in most cases.   
NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!?
Tubes aren't more "linear" than a JFET but they will keep you warmer in the winter and survive a nuclear attack.   
NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!?
Tubes on buffer stages don’t amplify the signal, so to say tubes give class d a nice tuby sound by sticking these contraptions on class d modules is just marketing speak. Benchmark is the Benchmark but I wish it had more power. I doubt anyone cou... 
different people may hear the same sound differently...
Everyone uses EQ. Some straightforward others clandestinely.

I do not think that was a compliment. I'm wounded !!  Is this a dagger which I see before me !

Way to keep it classy   Thanks  
different people may hear the same sound differently...
I agree that this should be universally understood. To me, it’s why I look for electronic components that measure beyond human audibility and speakers with a flat FR in anechoic chamber since they would be easier to "tune" to my tastes.

I don’t use a tube preamp with class D amps, kind of defeats the point of getting class D. I don’t want a damn tube in a DAC either. If you want tubes then buy tube amps.
