I said the dcs vivaldi upsampler increased the dynamic rangeNonsense. The quote says it has increased dynamic range meaning that it can, with adequate source material, play with reduced noise or with the same noise @ 1v out but capable of 10v out which no program contains. Unless it is a range expander [dynamic gain amplifier] which reduces level below a threshold and increases above, it is going to play 40dB material with 40dB dynamic range.
You are not beginning to approach cables properly until dealing with full sets.Unless this is a joke, more nonsense. Cable need to mate with the components they connect and the overall system.
