I just feel sorry for the fools who believe this sort of drivel. Anyone with even a passing knowledge of how computers work should howl with laughter at some of this stuff. ...and yes as you say, this is ALL about making money ("a fool and his money are easily parted").
Here's the opposite (and to them, intolerable/unthinkable) perspective: "Leaving aside the question of induced noise from the transport interfering with the DAC's ability to accurately recover/track the clock - and that is an effect which will vary wildly from to DAC to DAC - there is NOTHING that a correctly functioning tcp-linked transport (which is essentially a computer) can do to alter the sound because it WILL BEHAVE LIKE A COMPUTER and produce 100% correct results every time, just like any other computer". The danger with all of this is that - just occasionally - someone is going to find something connected to the noise/jitter issue that DOES improve (or at least change) the sound and we need to identify those very rare finds. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
