Does a ripped cd onto a digital format sound better than the cd played on the cdp
Steve, Ethernet directly into the DAC?  Not sure how that works. I run Ethernet from my Roon server to a Roon endpoint/renderer but then I2S directly into the DAC. 
Antipodes CX + EX as Server plus Renderer
@jayrossi13 , are you running the DX or EX as a server then the other as the renderer or simply running them as stand-alone devices?I own a DX Gen3 and have tried it both alone and with a remote renderer including the Metrum Amber and the SOtM tri...

Not a dumb question but one which cannot be answered definitively since the changes you will hear may be less about changing digital bits but rather more about how those bits are processed and the equipment they are played through.As mapman indica... 
New $24,000 inter-connect

Muse Model 10

My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
WC, thanks for the Block Audio update.....keep it coming.  Also, thanks for staying away from the BS that has somehow found its way to this thread.  I can't understand why some choose to argue about something as subjective as what somebody else he...

Clayton or Pass Class A, which one do you prefer and why ?

$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
If you look at the product, there is at least some innovative engineering involved.  They didn't just paint the wires a different color and jack the price with every iteration, or every color change (if the shoe (fuse) fits...).What they charge fo...
