USB Cable
Audiotroy- you don’t know what you don’t know! You call people dumb when all you do is try to sell someone gear that you carry. Everybody can see this. If you call us all dumb, I’m going to say you can’t hear. If you think usb sounds good, then y... 
DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER
Mahgister- "you don't know what you don't  know". In this case, this doesn’t have anything to do with system synergy, IMO it has everything to do with the quality of the dac and the preamp. A lot of dacs are noisy when using as a preamp so a prea... 
The latest audiophile streamer craze
Mesh networks: WiFi 6 or WiFi 6e? What are you using for the backhaul? If you put in a mesh network, know what to buy, and how to set it up. There is more to it than unboxing the nodes and turning them on.   
If you were serious about sound you would...
Lalitk- you don’t know what you are talking about. I would take ps audio equipment over most of what you own. If you want the true sound, get it at the source, before the recording. The amps that rock/blues/jazz groups use for example are fairly ... 
The Ultimate Audio Modification: Golden Ears
Golden ears was made up to promote all audio reviewers to a higher pedestal. Is there such a thing as golden eyes for video?  We all hear differently, and we all like different types of frequencies: some like a lot of bass, some like a creamy mid... 
JW Audio Signature Interconnect - I can't get anyone even to try them
Even if I come over for an audition and they sounded fantastic, say the best I have ever heard, I would have to get them for almost nothing because I would never be able to sell an unknown name cable. I would have to think that I would own these c... 
Why on earth?
There used to be a poster here on agon that evaluated speakers by listening to YouTube videos. He would also recommend speakers he heard using YouTube to others, claiming they were very good. I have never heard a YouTube video that I would trust i... 
Streamer Selection - Thoughts Requested Please!
let me step in here. Audiotroy, you are wrong on many fronts and don't understand how hardware/software works. "electrictrical noise"? You bring up cpu's when you tried to explain noise. The cpu's that any 3rd party server uses are not specifical... 
Here comes the PS Audio's streamer -- anyone excited?
probably the best streamer out there. Paul has it right, USB is the worst, I2S is the best, then Ethernet, but most people don't want to spend the money for a good dac with these inputs, they will be a cheap dac with usb and then spend hundreds if... 
Ethernet streaming
Every review I’ve read about a dac with Ethernet and the dac I use with Ethernet has always sounded better with Ethernet, 2nd best option would be i2s, last would be usb. You don’t have to be a so called streaming audio specialist to know this.   
What do you hear with a better/bigger power supply and output capacitors in same amp?
Music, not necessarily better  
Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers?
“It seems most people will never get that audio is not about the gear pieces but about how to learn to listen...”. IMO, if you know how to listen, you would know that the better equipment makes a bigger difference in sound quality! It’s like takin... 
Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"?
Do you need to sell it? Are you desperate? If so then respond. If it’s a ridiculous offer I’ll respond with a higher amount than what it is listed for. Most of the time I don’t respond. House bids are different, the realtor has to submit the offer... 
Bad news for home theater enthusiasts
Your network is the key. I have had gigabit networks for over 6 years and 4 of them were fiber. Fiber is the ultimate because it’s fiber which is much less noisy which you can see and hear in streaming, lowest latencies, and ultra low jitter. Als... 
Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers?
The OP is flat out wrong about the better internet reviewers. Kmart gear, really? Have you seen Jay's Audio equipment? Jay has spent more on room acoustics than most magazine reviewers paid for their reference gear. I would listen to the better in...
