@romin @Zerglingman Classic pasta!

Here's mine:

power effects color of sound diferent power supplies effect the sound your fully digital external dac provides or internal. this isn't even up for debate. and further to that digital audio does get corrupted by noise from the power in the processing and other complicated shit. you guys have such a simplistic view of audio processing even for digital.

you realize that audio produced in ableton pro tools studio1 and lots of different programs literally sounds different even if you input the same audio file. for a simplistic way of looking at it they have different kinds of anti aliasing for the "digital" wave form that is in steps but its far more complicated than that and different ranges of sound sound different in different digital audio workstations based on how they are processed.

even playing back audio in diferent music players produces different sound its not as simple as it being 0 and 1 so it all sounds the same its very complex and I'm not talking about EQ or some thing simple its actually how they are programmed.

and yes digital files degrade sure if you put them on a HDD and unplug it and store it for 100 years it will sound the same but it will corrupt over 1-2 years and its so subtle that torrent programs will stay its still 100% checked but it will sound different to when you originally downloaded it because the hash checks are not that accurate.

you guys need to look into audio more clearly you have just been the FLAC generation and think its simplistic its not a super large flac will actually degrade faster than a low KBS mp3.

do some research.

things like SATA noise reduction and isolating the power of your USB3.0 to a external source will make your audio degrade slower and output cleaner.

lots of audiophile stuff is excessive and stupid like insulating of wires etc but the stuff this company sells is actually legit.
