As far as I can tell there is no topic, which leads me to conclude everything is off topic. Here's your initial post, which appears to be only a series of idiotic statements: "All components (and cables) sound exactly alike. There are no differences between a $5 clock radio and the finest system money can buy. If you have evidence to the contrary, you are not permitted to say so in this thread. We like our beliefs and wish to keep them undisturbed by reality." How is that to be taken as a topic for intelligent discussion? 18 minutes ago, mansr said: Even more, I'd like to know why he cares. LOL. That's rich coming from you of all people.

Perhaps it has a 3" speaker instead of a 1" speaker ! Ralf11 and esldude 2 How a Digital Audio file sounds, or a Digital Video file looks, is governed to a large extent by the Power Supply area. All that Identical Checksums gives is the possibility of REGENERATING the file to close to that of the original file. PROFILE UPDATED 13-11-2020 Link to comment
