@JS - as I hope you know I have a lot of respect for your views, John.
However, I have conducted a lot of ADM tests on mains cables of varying
types - including Nordost - and found NO measurable or audible
difference when used on line level devices. I have not tested power amp

As for USB cables sounding different... galvanic isolation is essential.
It's not about the cable at all...

You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it
ain't what you'd call minimal...

Something Off Topic.
I see that some reviewers and well regarded Hi-Fi authors from the past
these days still hear things they write about and describe fine
differences. These people must be in the end of their 50s now or even
older.
I have the feeling they fool themself often enough cause
If you like good rd behind a design, check out Revel. Their concertas
and performas level bookshelfs are great.

If you are talking about subjective differences, then we can fill this
thread with pages and you will not be convinced.
Only you can conclude there are no differences. Try moving your
speakers 2 inch. Closer you'll hear measurable difference.
It does take the fun out of this hobby, but you'll
Follow up: Enjoyed the Transporter for months using the RCA jacks and
Pioneer SC-27 AV receiver. Then yesterday I brought back the PS Audio
power amp into the mix to power the front speakers. The Transportet
connected straight to it with XLR cables is magical! I suppose the
simplest cleanest
Can anyone compare?
I use Rhapsody now and the quality is actually pretty good. How is the
Spotify premium service in comparison to Rhapsody regarding sound
quality?
Thanks

Spotify Premium streams using Vorbis at 320kbps.
Less helpful information perhaps: I think it sounds good. I haven't
tried this, but I suspect I would struggle in a blind comparison with
CD.
If I loved some music I would still buy it on CD and rip it, especially
if the best master isn't
alicebill, the OP doesn't want to RIP, he wants to BURN DVD-Audio. I
have Minnetonka's DiskWelder, as mentioned by DCtoDaylight. It works
OK but dosen't give you a lot of authoring options. I would like it to
be able to do multiple groups, but you have to pay more than the $99
version to get
I read that everything in the Spotify catalog is not available in the
high (320kbps) bitrate. Does anybody know what percentage of the
catalog is avaialble at the higher bitrate? The lower bitrate at
160kbps isn't too shabby either though.

Hmm if it only is stereo tracks ? The plain DVD(V) standard supports 2ch
24bit up to 192k PCM track.
i have some of those discs.
This oportunity is only abused by some audiophile disc labels, a
mastering of a movie must be way more economical with the quite limited
space on a dvd disc.

I don't know what the percentage is, but I've been pleasantly surprised
that every time I've bothered to look during my playing around so far
(ie, since last night) they've all been 320k.

Yes I have posted on this before, and no my views have not changed. The
power cord is part of the connection between boxes, a conduit for
picking up external noise, radiating noise and part of the electrical
resonances formed with the components and wiring in the walls etc.
All of these aspects
I seem to like the sound quality of Spotify better but the search and
save functionality of Rhapsody is much superior Unless I am missing
something about Spotify that has not been pointed out to me, saving an
entire album from Spotify is impossible, unless you use the save to
favorites
I've started having trouble with my Transporter (again).
This morning I had to turn the power completely of, i.e., to the entire
house. Prior to doing this the unit was already off and I turned it off
at the wall. When the power was restored I turned everything back on
nicely.
My problem is
