Somewhere in here Garth Powell power product designer of audioquest get the question if nosie can wander from ethernet cable to system he says yes.
And there we have a typical/classic example of what plagues the audiophile world, the inability to separate marketing from actual fact! Admittedly it's often quite difficult to do this, because as with this typical example, the marketing often contains a great deal of actual, correct facts. Overall though, it's utter BS because either: A. A few key facts are omitted (that invalidate the actual facts), B. A few key "facts" are simply made-up nonsense that contradict the actual facts, C. "Can"/"Could" are used in direct contradiction to "Does", or commonly D. All of the above!
However, despite all these (and other) bog standard marketing tricks, just the application of a bit of critical thinking and common sense is often all that's needed. For example, in this podcast (and earlier in this thread) it was mentioned that (paraphrasing): At school we're taught it's just zeros and ones and "we have to do more homework than that". Think about that for a second ... Do you really think that the members of the international standards/protocols organisations, the engineers who implement ethernet technology and those who actually invented it are ALL school children? You think those of us who use ethernet as professionals creating commercial music/sound content are all school children? You think none of us have ever done any "homework"? And, what reliable evidence (eg. NOT marketing) do you have that what is taught in schools about digital data is fundamentally wrong to start with? Where's the critical thinking or even simple common sense here?
Oh boy.. the biters at it again. Washing away the tasty stuff by forcing their sour science sauce down throats. Death by strangulation of yet another thread around the corner, I tell ya!
Doesn't this ancient incredibly boring ''I practice questioning every man's unique experience
every day because math and physics is my life'' have its own isolated playground in Sound Science?
Don't spread all over the Matrix and let a man play his game, you extreme bunch of
wimps nerds
Or, to reword accurately (the other way around):
Oh boy... the duped are at it again. Washing away the proven science/demonstrated facts by forcing their sour snake oil down throats. Death by strangulation of yet another thread around the corner, I tell ya!
Doesn't this ancient incredibly boring "I believe snake oil and my biased perception over ALL the science, facts and even common sense, regardless of how well proven and demonstrated, because being a gullible, misinformed audiophile is my life" have it's own playground throughout head-fi except Sound Science?
Don't spread all over the matrix and let a man state the actual facts, you extreme bunch of
ignorant, gullible fools audiophiles
