why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
" Because they are scientifically illiterate. People who fall for "audiophile grade" cables (or even worse, for example, "directional fuses") and similar audio trinkets are in the same league with anti vaxxers, flat earthers, lunar landing deniers...

"Clearly, the big fat stiff cables are making up for other deficiences in other areas. "Sorry to disappoint you but no, not the case 🤣! 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
Guys...this is a hobby. Noone has to prove anything to anyone else scientifically or otherwise. I like what I have and love the way it sounds...noone has to believe or do as anyone else does.

Esoteric Grandioso P1/D1
I don’t believe you can use the X03SE as a transport for a pair of D1 monoblock DACs as the X03SE does not offer dual-AES outputs. You could connect to one of the D1s using S/PDIF coaxial but not the other. If you looked at an D02X Esoteric DAC, y... 
Buzzing just won't quit: Can someone please help?

Roger Waters-Amused to Death
Stunning SACD, one of the most impressive on my shelves in all 3 dimensions.  I had a similar experience the dogs barking 10-12' to right of speakers, down the hall and behind the wall in the yard and the radio broadcast similarly impressive to th... 
Move to tubes: Ayon Crossfire or Triton, various
@atmasphere : Great feedback, thank you very much.  I agree the NL 12.1, NL Ref, etc...were amazingly musical and did not have the typical solid state side effects; they were also (at least to my ears) dead neutral and injected no color or warmt... 
Move to tubes: Ayon Crossfire or Triton, various
Thank you both for your suggestions.  I've actually moved past this question for my setup for now and decided to stay solid-state for the foreseeable future.  I find that S/N ratio, THD and Damping Factor (the higher the better, my current amp is ... 
Chester Bennington passes...
I love their music and their weaving in of highly relevant issues and events from society and human issues into their lyrics. It's a tragedy he chose to end his life; a very selfish move. My heart goes out to his family including six (6) children,...
