Now you are saying that we added a device because of placebo effect. Saying that fellow audiophiles as most of us in this thread spent thousands of bucks, quid or euro for merely placebo effect is simply rude.(14-Jan-2018, 23:47)zdenes Wrote:(14-Jan-2018, 20:38)midi Wrote: I have still some doubts if a Mutec or an other additional device for a lot of Euros like this is really more than placebo effect (and in a blind test between such a solution and AIR not recognizable).
The longer a think about it, the more I think SQ isn´t the primary argument to buy a further device. Stability and usability seems to be more important.
Seriously?? Why do you have a Devialet? A €20 blue tooth speaker is more reliable and in your opinion it will sound the same.

Unnecessary comment. Apparently you did not understand what I mean. The Expert with AIR/ROON AIR has a really good SQ. The question is, if it is really worth to buy a further device (reclocker etc) for a lot of money?
