Good point. Fair enough :-). That was a demonstration of noise getting
into the DAC from an unshielded RCA

Right but a reasonably intelligent and well educated person finding
something -implausible- does not constitute "fact"!
Not long ago, it was a fact that digital transports and USB cables
couldn't make a difference for DACs, until Archimago got his measuring
stick out.
As I said, measurable techn

Yes, I suppose, but supporting opinions in some systematic and logical
way grounded in facts IS important. Otherwise it's not a hobby, it's a

I recently cancelled my account at Audio Asylum. Over the past months I
found that virtually none of the threads were of interest to me. The
sniping, arrogance and extremely odd (to me) insistence that their
subjective opinions couldn't possibly be due to subjective factors
finally got to me. I ca

Probably the last measurement for the year :-).
Let's see what adding a 50-ft Cat5e cable extender does to the DAC's
audio output... If USB cables are *that* important, surely this should
ruin a few things like worsen jitter substantially, right? Measurements
