@audphile1 light is the same thing as electricity, that is what is used to vibrate a driver so it creates noise
How long for an HDMI cable to break in.
I've been using an Audioquest Blueberry for a little while and just got the Vodka 48 8k/10k to compare. I'm not hearing initially much of a difference and certainly not $600 worth. Anybody else compare the two? Direction is correct. When I put the Vodka in I realized the Blueberry was in wrong!

@1971gto455ho Even back then, the cost to be an "audiophile" was outrageous. 🤣 |
I2S was designed to allow two chips on a board to communicate 2-channel digital PCM samples, without any error detection or correction. The secret of digital when done properly is that errors can be both detected and corrected. The original digital can be restored even if the transmission is faulty. I2S uses four connections but was never designed in 1986 to operate over a cable. To quote Wikipedia
Most HDMI connectors have 19-pins so can easily provide the 4 pins needed by I2S. It is an absolute bastardisation of the brilliant HDMI standards to steal its cable and connectors for I2S! Currently HDMI is designed to transmit 48-Gbps rising shortly to 96-Gbps. That's phenomenal. But you can't extend the cable too much beyond a few metres. Transmission will start to break down with obvious effects, particularly for video. With I2S any length is problematic. As I said, all bets are off |
@jijoh123 Years ago I was golfing with a fellow who had a set of Ping Beryllium Copper irons. I asked if he could tell the difference between the Beryllium vs the standard Ping irons. He replied "that's easy. It's $700" May be applicable to this hobby of ours. |
