Calm down dears! Someone believes he has done something which improves sound quality, and says so. The claims may appear to be somewhat grandiose, but in themselves they are harmless. People can no more prove them false than he can prove them true, unless a randomised double-blind test is performed with a reasonably large sample of people, and then duplicated by others.
Saying they cannot make a difference may seem 'logical' by working out what they might be able to change, but it isn't proof. It is entirely up to the reader whether they want to try it or not. The only qualifier I would add is that tinkering with stuff has risks and can have unintended and unexpected consequences, as I have found far too often to my cost, but all my fault. However, I'd like to suggest that if people are going to make proposals for changes they are explicit about their environment (this may well have been stated in an earlier post but I'm not going to read all of them to try and find out). So, for instance, I use the analogue out, not having a decent DAC to hand. I have no idea whatsoever whether the suggested priority changes are thought to apply to digital out, or to analogue, or both. Naysayers may well say neither, since they believe none of it can change anything anyway. None of this matters. It's a hobby. People tinker (or not) for fun. I do not, for a moment, expect to get 100% accurate advice & information from these forums (or should that be fora? :) ). I get ideas and solutions which I try or not at my own risk. On occasions I make suggestions which may or may not help others. As others keep saying - listen to the music. -- PasTim VortexBox Midi, FLACs 16 or 24 bit. Touch on Ethernet (in another room).
