Yes obviously those analogies were not supposed to be taken seriously, much like most of this thread.
Much like the analogy in another thread of a picture in a book being the same no matter how many times you open the book to look at it. Irrelevant. I am glad you don your colourful sceptic underpants-on-the-outside in other parts of life too, but don't be closed minded. The science has to move on. Believe it or not I actually am an engineer too. I don't believe digital changes will make audible differences to your sound system as long as the data stream remains unmodified. (I've yet to thoroughly test this, but I'm happy to take it as read that it's the case.) On the analogue side, however, I think there's plenty of scope for audibility of all sorts of things. Well, all sorts of things that actually change the path or scale of electrical signals. Painting CDs green or hanging sparkly things on your curtains is clearly so much BS I rightly join you in laughing at it. But swapping analogue interconnects? Yeah, I can understand how that can subtly alter the sound. I'm also happy to state that this is all about preference though, and nothing to do with "performance", per se. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drmatt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59498 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105775 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
