The audiophile is the person that claims to hear differences between the FLAC and ALAC versions of the same data file, even though decompressing them to WAV and comparing them results in bit identical files.

Of course. I know. That’s why I have a LPSU for my pi3 and filter/lift/regenerate the USB. But i refer to a guy that also believed the difference remained AFTER decompressing. Somehow he thought the bits were “imprinted” o.O

Reminds me of the audiophile SATA cables, used in a remote file server.

Wow. Better for the sound but cannot boot!!?http://www.psaudio.com/forum/accessories-cables-tweaks-tuning/audiophile-sata-cables-and-samsung-850-ssd-incompatible/ …

Audiophile crap in general is hilarious, but especially when they pay loads for digital cables. Like the $1k HDMI 1m cables
-
If the system is so badly designed that they “need” a $1K HDMI cable for, say, I2S, then the problem is not solved by an exotic “filtering” cable. Similar thing for using single ended connections and expensive interconnects. Move to balanced!
-
As for balanced, you mean XLR? There's a reason it's used in the live music industry.
-
XLR is the physical transport. Indeed great for noise rejection, can run several meters w/ no sound degradation at all. Balanced means a signal and its opposite are always processed in parallel. I have DAC and pre/power amp that are true balanced architectures.
-
So balanced architecture needs XLR cables.
