squeezebox set up for audiophiles
After researching a bit and reading up on the forum, I would like to set up my squeezebox touch as follows and any input, criticism, guidance, etc to help all of us get on the right path would help. I...
It is not confusing at all as I simply do not accept that such attenuation will improve the signal.
Think about it - the digital data stream consists of 0's and 1's, not an audio or analog signal and so no "noise" to reduce as you claim. Any changes implemented in the cable means you are changing the data, surely the complete opposite of what any audiophile would want?
The only circumstance where there is a remote chance a signal could be improved in this manner is if there is a fundamental mismatch in termination between source and destination causing the receiver to incorrectly interpret the input signal, and that would happen only if one or the other were badly designed in the first place. Given you and any others who implement such a modification will be using different equipment, what do you think the chances are that all those who claim to hear a difference happen to have some badly design equipment?
Also note that the thread you referred to consists of 92 pages of comments, by the end of which the original poster had resigned from the thread as he was unable to provide any verifiable proof to a community of engineers that his assertions were correct despite multiple proposals of how he could do exactly that.
So no - not confusing at all
