For lovers of external clocks, gold-plated SFP modules, full moon cables, singing bowls, and green CD markers…
Where did all my money go???

Common digital pitfalls
• Paying extra for high-resolution files with no audible benefit.
• Investing in proprietary, lossy formats such as MQA.
• Believing that 24-bit audio is necessary for listening.
• Worrying about “audiophile” network switches.
I have never understood why some people get so upset about other people hearing a difference.
I’m not annoyed; on the contrary, I take my hat off to people who have good hearing.
But unfortunately, most people don’t want to understand that a lot of it is psychoacoustics.
Psychoacoustics examines the relationship between physical sound stimuli (sound events) and human perception (hearing events). It combines physiology and psychology to understand how sound waves are converted into subjective impressions such as loudness, pitch, roughness, sharpness, or fluctuation intensity.
And when your inner voice tells you that a $1,000 RCA cable “MUST” sound better to justify the $1,000 price tag, audiophile madness is born.
