Why Power Cables Affect Sound
@Geoffkait - Actually, no.  Don't forget, you have markups involved as well.   Distribution, reps, dealers, freight, warranty, UL codes, all that adds a percentage.  That 50 dollar cable will add an easy 250 to 300 bucks to the retail price before... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
Why?  Because you have to sell your product.   First a buyer has to believe your product is worth at least what you are asking.  Second, the more you add cost, the more the retail climbs, making it harder to sell and harder for the buyer to justif... 
DAC Upgrade
This is a bit out of your price range, but it would be hard to beat this one with the Femto clock option:     https://www.wyred4sound.com/products/digital-converters/dac-2v2-series   I have one and it is exceptional and beats all the other DAC's I... 
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
I agree, I would not have purchased the system either.   The Bryston or Wyred4Sound are much better systems. although a lot more money.   The fact is, I had to buy a system for the cabin and I went with Bryston rather than another Vault 2.  I'd se... 
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
Update - after living with the recent Bluesound and Roon updates, the entire system appears to be far more stable than before.   Of course, now that I posted this, it's a given the entire system will collapse...... 
Micro Seiki RX-1500 Gasket
The German group got back to me and mentioned there is a huge interest in replacement gaskets but the tooling cost is so high, that they cannot proceed with having any made.   However, I did find a potential alternate product.  I found a window ga... 
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
I upgraded from Ethernet and I was able to get the system up and running on the third reboot.   At least I didn't have to reboot my PC this time.   I believe the catch here is starting Roon on the PC after the reboot and the Node and Vault has log... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
@doitwithlife - Rather than explain why, can you explain what the differences are?  That is, voltage waveform differences, current waveform differences, mA, mV, etc.    
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
the players should be ungrouped before updateActually, the update should be smart enough to ungroup the players, update them, then regroup what it found originally.   To me, this seems like an obvious common sense thing to do. As for my system, ... 
Is it true that a digital cable has to acclimate to your system?
I won't speak for all users in all systems but in my system, a cable either sounds good at first and might get better or it sounds bad and stays bad.   If that happened to me in my system, I would return it. 
Shipping heavy audio equipment and reducing the chances of damages
That and have it insured for replacement costs........ :-) 
Very good resorce for sound absobtion class ratings
Interesting info.   Thanks for posting!For your application, don't forget your neighbors have walls as well, so for identical construction, the number should double.  In addition, sound intensity decreases as a square of the distance, (twice the d... 
Litz Wire Air Core Inductor
I haven't but the concept seems very interesting.   I might give it a try in my next project. 
Saving the sound of the Stradivarius
They are not the first.   Quite a number of years ago I worked for a company that was going through a transition and decided to create the sound of a Stradivarius through a new design of music synthesizer integrated circuits. Being an audiophile ...
