Doubts about Topping's I2S pinout and whether an HDMI 1.4 cable is suitable.

Anyway keep in mind that twenty or fifty years ago it was not possible to make measurements with the reliability and the number of parameters that today are handled in ASR. And that in twenty years and fifty years ASR measurements will be even better and will include more parameters that today are considered inaudible. That is the progress of science, which is not a static thing.

Like what? What did we not know 50 year ago at the advent of digital audio, that we (don’t) know now? Maybe the measurements have gotten better, most certainly cheaper and more accessible. That doesn’t mean we gained a lot of knowledge on audibility.

For if it is a field of knowledge that has not advanced at all in fifty years, the problem is very big. However, I am sure that the measurement experts will be convinced that some progress has been made in all these years. Otherwise it would be something like a religion, with a truth revealed half a century ago, immutable and indisputable.

Well… you’re the one who believes science will somehow come up with new things to measure, and thereby prove your use of some useless box does make a change for the better, after all. Done a blind test, by any chance? Or is the difference so obvious you don’t need one ?
And why would it be a problem if there would have been not much progress in the field of music reproduction in the last fifty years? Science has demonstrated that Audio has been solved! That”s not a ‘belief’: you might as well declare 2 + 2 = 4 is a belief.

I did many tests with a lot of scepticism and the DDC became indispensable. As for the rest of your comment, it is the most anti-scientific and denialist of human progress and knowledge I have seen here. You already have your religion, sorry that only forces you to follow its commandments.

All the best.

What you do in psychoanalysis is called projecting your own faults onto your interlocutor.
And that's as far as we've got. I only care about what intelligent people can think.

Why are you here? At audio science review of all places? if you are not prpared to listen and at least consider information grounded is solid science and engineering?

No-one is trying to denigrate you here. They are offering you valid information with the intent of helping you avoid speiding money on stuff that cannot possibly improve your audio experience. And thereby allowing you do direct it more effectively towards gear that can make a difference (mainly DSP and Speakers)

Bear in mind there a lot of highly qualified engineers and scientsts here that understand how this stuff works. What it can do, and more importantly what it can't.

So far, it doesn’t show. And that’s why you took to insulting NTK. Way to go, pal.
