Thicker grade I can buy into, a $20k power cord made from the tears of a unicorn… less so
20k???? Yes I agree

How about getting your own dedicated power pole line from the utility company?20k???? Yes I agree![]()
Just for the fun of it, I've been software-tweaking streaming devices for 4-5 years now. And as weird as it may sound to some, many things have an audible impact. Simple disabling disk read/write statistics (iostats) can be heard. My - educated - guess: electrical noise has a far reaching effect. So I am not surprised - actually I was initially - that some SD cards sound different/better than others.I’m feel so lucky that I don’t hear (or believe) deference in sound quality between microsd cardsOn other hand I found it sketchy when someone hear deference between cards and call iem burn in scam, which a lot of people hear/believe.
I can’t see how it would make any difference, but that’s just speculation on my part. The card loads the data into the app and the app plays it. Why would the brand of card make any difference in this process. Isn’t it a bunch of 1’s and 0’s that get sent to the app? I would think It’s the player and app decoding what’s on the card, I can’t see how the card makes any difference, at least as long as it can keep up with the needs of the DX340.You guys are giving Effect Audio more product ideas!!!
But seriously though, you all got me intrigued with all this audiophile SD card talk.
Exactly, i had my fair share of testing out different mediums of storage from cheap microsd, to the expensive ones, im currently using the extreme pro 2tb in my dx340. I played flac files from hdd to ssd’s and i hear no difference with the sound quality, i even went far enough to consider the md5 sum to validate the file i copied from my pc to my storages is exactly the same. End of the day, ill trust my own ears.I can’t see how it would make any difference, but that’s just speculation on my part. The card loads the data into the app and the app plays it.

Take a look at some of these facts just for funI can’t see how it would make any difference, but that’s just speculation on my part. The card loads the data into the app and the app plays it.

This isn’t like an analogue recording where your device (tape, vinyl, reel, film, or whatever) is directly playing what’s on the source without converting from digital. I know CDs can get scratches but I think this is different. I’m not aware of data losses from memory cards within a music track being a thing. Admittedly I’m speculating, it’s not a thing I’ve researched.
That’s because you only have a superficial top layer understanding of how digital works.I can’t see how it would make any difference, but that’s just speculation on my part.

No one saying buying more expensive card is going to eliminate that. There are just differences between cards. Most obvious are between 2 categories: Consumers or Industrials, and coincidentally, industrials are more expensive due to better reliabilities.Again, buying a more expensive card isn’t gonna eliminate that. If you truely believe the sd card causes sonic differences, copy the music you are currently listening to, to the internal storage first
