However when one dares to point out that his discoveries only pour more evidence in the pile suggesting that PCs make really lame audio playback devices, things begin to fall apart.
I have absolutely NO doubt in my mind that what Fred reports is true, changing an unshielded SATA cable with a shielded one made an audible difference in his PC based system.
What many here MIGHT disagree with is his reasoning in using a PC as a digital source in the first place.
Or that by fiddling and tweaking a home brew PC, he can somehow overcome all of its inherent limitations.
Ignoring completely the fact that some might suggest that an off-the-shelf Apple product might be better, or certainly no worse.
When one dares to suggest any of the perfectly reasonable positions listed above, Fred looses all self restraint and reverts to the Fred of old.
All of which I find very entertaining. ;-)
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
