[QUOTE="ScottulusMaximus, post: 935910, member: 18165"] If you follow this thought back then streaming audio would sound different over fibre, ADSL or LTE... Hell if Tidal changed an ethernet cable in their data centre audiophiles the world over would hear it! It doesn't, because digital transmission doesn't work this way. It's a 1 or a 0, klaar, and if the 1 or 0 gets messed around with to the extent the DAC doesn't know what it is then you won't just get a loss in "detail"(or clarity, or fluidity or whatever :cr@p: the salesman claims) it could be a bit that drops the sound completely or you'll get pops, distortions, bangs, anything. Thinking that a messed up bit will always be the least significant shows a fundamental misunderstanding of digital signal transmission. [/QUOTE]
