The kind of audiophile that thinks vibrations on a fiber cable are going to distort sound is never going to be happy with the equipment.
I love that someone did a test years ago where they had audiophiles listen to music using different cables that got increasingly more expensive.
Turns out they couldn't tell the difference between a ridiculously expensive Monster cable and a wire coat hanger.
Thats just snake oil. Actual audio enjoyer's know a speaker wire doesn't make 1 damn lick of difference unless the shielding is shit and you live under power lines.
See: clothes hanger used as speaker wire = 0 difference.
However, things like ADC and DACs do make a difference , expensive as they are. Transparency and depth are a thing , a lot of people have no clue because they never have heard a good system though.
That said, my 2010 apogee DAC ADC is awesome for the price. No need to upgrade.
Yeah there's four tier
