Unfortunately, you are not right. Digital cables do sound different. And, believe, for many years I was exactly like you - digital is digital and bit is bit. And, I had two cables Oyaide and Chord, both proper 75ohm COAX. and sound delivered by them is different. Couldn't believe until I Heard it by myself in my system. I just borów the Chord from my friend just to make a test whether it will make any change.

His electrostatic headphones were very good...

The 405 is capacitor coupled to the speakers as well, IIRC the current limit on the 405 is 6.5 amps, which should be ok for moderate listening levels.

Facts are our friends
Considering 6.5 A is 170 W into 4 ohm, double that into 8 ohm, I would say it is OK for more than just moderate listening levels unless you have very low impedance speakers.

Perhaps you could add an "imo" into that sentence. Even then it would be a tad impolite. This isn't a cable thread.(hopefully)

Only into a 8R resistor. Look at the schematic and note the 8k2 and 75R resistors reducing the current limit to zero at high phase angle loads and short circuits. This means 3A into a 4R resistor and less into a realistic ported speaker

Devialet are getting on my tits with their adverts claiming the Phantoms to be “the best sound in the world”... so which version of the Phantom then? All of them? It’s a pretty bold claim.

Perhaps it's IME?

"This device can be a bit far out for some user." Really?At a mere $300 these are one of my all time favouriteshttps://www.thecableco.com/ebony-dowsing-pendulum.html

That would imply the use of mind altering drugs. I think "imo" is probably safer.

Is that allowed nowadays? I remember back when Advertising Standards first came in, Carlsberg had to add the word "probably" to their "Best Lager in The World" adverts.

Every turntable surely needs one of these!

Well, I can't deny I may have used such things in the past, but USB and digital ICs sound different in my system. IME.

Ooh, I do like their blurb! Excited ebony molecules! Electroflux! Based on simple high school physics!

Most of what's on that site could easily be filed under Bulls**t. $55,000 for a pair of speaker cables???? Fools and their money.At a mere $300 these are one of my all time favourites

It’s certainly pushing the boundaries! But I’ve seen it countless times in my Facebook newsfeed. If it were true though, nobody would need one of their amplifiers. I’ve no doubt that Devialet kit is very good... but the best in the world? I very much doubt it. Tough to beat from a price/convenience/performance standpoint? maybe.

That really takes the biscuit. I wonder if the 'very very limited numbers' is actually zero because no-one's stupid enough to buy one?
Well, capacitors, and speaker drivers, measurably do run in, so it’s more than that.
