Actually you highlight one of my pet peeves about modern audiophilia -
the ever present hyperbole. It is really annoying to hear people
incessantly talk about massive differences between things like cables,
even to the point of calling certain things unlistenable. 

Now I'm hardly in the camp that claims there are no differences between
electronics and other audio equipment. I think the analog outputs of my
SB3 sound pretty dang good for a $300 device. But I was willing to
spend the extra cash to run mine through an external Lavry DA-10 DAC.
The differences are certainly present but hardly "huge" - a bit
smoother, a little more depth and extension. Some might prefer another
DAC, some might not be able to justify the cost and some might not even
notice. But there is nothing about this or any similar scenario that
could justify the over-the-top verbiage that some seem prone to.

However, something tells me that my wish for some verbal moderation in
this area is probably going to yield about the same results as
expecting world peace tomorrow.
