I'm sure the recording sounds fantastic - generic Cat6 or not :-).<br /><br />In light of the recent DSD converter tests, I bet these would sound great converted to high-res PCM... Maybe take the DSD128 and convert to 24/88 with SACD plug-in using foobar, and the DSD256 to 24/176 with +6dB gain since I see they're rather low in volume level. In any case, even with Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-80797037714718187052015-04-22T08:54:32.076-07:002015-04-22T08:54:32.076-07:00Yeah man, I think if you did that, you would have ...Yeah man, I think if you did that, you would have just wasted some money on travel expenses!<br /><br />Have a look at a post like this one:<br />http://www.hifiplus.com/articles/first-listen-audioquest-diamond-usb-cable/?utm_campaign=Hi-Fi%2B+Weekly+Emails&utm_medium=email&utm_source=email-365<br /><br />Check out page 4 and note the description of the "sculptural" nature of Archimagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642574001287787545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-79340112461057504282015-04-21T20:14:39.923-07:002015-04-21T20:14:39.923-07:00It's an interesting result indeed!
About cabl...It's an interesting result indeed!<br /><br />About cables and ethernet cables, something caught my attention some days ago.<br /><br />The folks of NativeDSD.com recently made some interesting test comparing DSD 64, 128 and 256 in two different ADC's. Some of the pictures show the huge amount of cables used in the recordings sessions. It's just a BIG mess (and i'm sure it cannot VKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287837050338339500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781727111866727703.post-28802582051319362212015-04-21T02:24:28.024-07:002015-04-21T02:24:28.024-07:00Ah ... scratch that test.

I would almost join that forum.<br /><br />It would be pretty 'easy' to put the matter to rest IMO but involves some travelling, free time and willingness.<br /><br />If only one of the non believers would visit one of these guys that hear obvious differences and 'administer' a blind test with enough attempts to get statistical relevance and the permission of both solderdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00391699689539064581noreply@blogger.com
