Like usb audio has lower jitter and is the modern solution to audio streaming.

A meaningless claim that no-one has ever made. OTOH, competent engineers have designed fine-sounding audio products using USB and got them out the door. Which is a damn sight more than you've ever done.

Like 14 bit dacs playing red book with cMP2 provides the definitive answer to good PC auio.

As you well know, no-one has ever made that claim - it verges on mendacious to keep repeating it here. In any case, you don't even know what cMP2 sounds like. By your own admission, you couldn't even get cPlay to run properly.

Like 16G Macs sound better than 8G ones.

How would you know? AFAIK, you don't even have a Mac and you've certainly never compared the two setups. There are some field of expertise that even you have yet to conquer.

The list goes on.

And so, sadly, do you. About things you know little or nothing about.

True audiophiles look for high quality replay systems regardless of setup.

While others sound off on all sorts of topics they know little about. I'm increasingly convinced that perhaps the biggest audio myth on this list is that you are some sort of expert. The reality is that you're the most prone of all of us to making silly generalisations.

"Malice in Wonderland"? Well said. (Wish I'd thought of it. But, as the famous quip had it, "Never mind, you will".)
