Antoine, yes I agree completely. I didn't mean to sound argumentative, just curious.
Hi Thumb5, thanks, and I also only meant to say that although I found some popular optimizations I read about to be 'questionable' in theory, I tried them anyway and only judged the result.
I think we all, at some time, have thought "how can it be possible that a power cable improve the SQ of my device" (for example, but you could also substitute power cable for network or USB cable I guess) and then tried it and were surprised by the results. Computer audio is a somewhat newer territory (at least for me) with the same kind of surprises.
'Everything matters' is a phrase I see regularly at computeraudiophile and it does seem to hold a lot of merit.
