I guess I didn't actually "Post" it....

I didn't really phrase that Knowledge statement very well.
What bothered me most at that Site was that many think that NO more expensive Dac could Possibly
sound better than the $250 Shiite.
Now That's Believing What You Think!
No reason to Listen.
In fact both Audio and Music would be better off if the Listening were left out.

I gather you think that expensive Streamers are bogus, they may well be.
But I would be surprised none were better than the basic Pi set-up.
But if Expectation Bias is Real, we should only buy the most basic gear,
probably just get upset if we hear something "Better", because it can't be, it's just our Brains fooling us.
Maybe we should all just go with the Jack Reacher "Stereo in Our Heads" method.
Save time AND money!
And it's Portable.
