Another outstanding, level headed analysis by you, Archimago, the lone voice of sanity in this field. I wish there were more like this in this crazy world of computer audio, which seems to have inherited all the worst tendencies of delusional audiophilia.
I am glad to see guru John Swenson's packet noise issue put in perspective as something much simpler and less pernicious than the fear, uncertainty and doubt he continuously peddles. I have looked, but I have never encountered a measurement by him of anything published anywhere. I find him to be more of a preacher-man than an engineer, although I see he has engineered the Uptone Audio Regen, a "solution" to the "problem" he instills fear about. There may indeed be systems in which the 8kHz packet noise is an issue, but the solution might be much simpler
