I find differences between digital sources subtle, but important for
deciding whether I want to listen a lot more! If anyone finds
something like cables 'unlistenable', it's a sure sign that they have
gone too far away from music and into the equipment. The music is

Actually you highlight one of my pet peeves about modern audiophilia -
the ever present hyperbole. It is really annoying to hear people
incessantly talk about massive differences between things like cables,

cannot be HUGE difference between two good digital sources (if one has
very high jitter it doesn't deserve to be called "good"). SB is a good

Hi!

I Also think Streaming "Flac as WaVe" sounds better than Stream "FLAC
as FLAC".
And i think "Wired connection" sounds better than "Wireless

both pass DTS (e.g. Sb3 and Transporter), yet still sound different.
But it brings up another point I didn't see mentioned by Mr. Pig,
