“if you pay 4000$ for something like this, you gonna hear the difference, just don’t expect that your friends do”

You have to first tell the friend what the difference between it and a lesser DAC is, just like a salesperson.
Once you do that they'll hear it clearly. Even though no difference exists.

Or they'll say they hear it just to be nice to their lunatic friend.

Killjoy! But you are 100% correct. Us old geezers don't stay up with the times.......

Uhmmm not all metal, but silly question...
If you live in a condo... in Chicago for example...
You may have water pipes for fire extinguishers that are metal.
Then the walls use metal studs vs wood.
(Not sure how conductive they are... )
Then of course your in wall wiring is in conduit. (metal)

Of course if you live in an older building... you can still find a bit of copper water pipes w just the last couple of feet being PVC and what not.

Still the best and safest way to run power lines.
Of course its expensive, both material wise and labor but it is the best.
