Same mis-led people who hear worlds of difference in expensive power cords.
If your told you'll hear it, you just might, if you "believe"

Well if someone doesn't understand that reproduced sound is system and room dependent and that we all don't have equal levels of audible cognition, then purely relying on measurements might suffice. However, for someone to categorically state that because they can't hear something means nobody can is bs.

Go back to the first generation of cd players and cds. "Perfect sound forever" based on the measurements yet acoustic instruments (especially piano) sounded horrible compared to good quality analog (or real pianos). Look at the major recording studios that have upgraded the quality of their cables and power supplies and tell them they can't hear a difference...

You know, there’s a fair amount of overkill in my setup. My analog cables are all S-video cables with gold connectors. I can’t hear the difference, unless a corroded connection causes noise or other failures.

I use PS Audio Power Ports for the outlets my hear is plugged into. I definitely don’t hear the difference, but I’ve never had one fail like some of the hardware store outlets have.

I’m still not sure what I could do to prevent HDMI cable failures. I’ve had at least three of them simply stop working since I built my room, and they are a bitch to thread through the loom.

If I have the choice of using analog or digital connections, it’s analog every time, but I still enjoy digital media - I can rarely tell the difference.

If you have a geegaw that makes you happy, then I’m happy for you. I might not be persuaded to buy one, but don’t consider that a condemnation of your choice. It’s just one I wouldn’t make.

There are zero technical reasons for what it is believed to be doing, if people waste money on cloud cuckoo-land things like this fair enough, its their money, but remember the old saying "A fool and his money are easily parted"

"If you expect to hear a difference, you will, whether it's real or not."

Kaleidescape offers better clocked audio than the Oppo, perhaps is the lack of physical media spinning, but there is definitely better presentation cohesiveness in the surrounds.

Thats a movie streamer isnt it? What? No nonsense about better picture quality?

LOL... Be careful, Unlike other streamers, Kaleidescape does stream completely uncompressed files said to be the equal of 4k Bluray or whatever is the best available at the time. It requires very dedicated gear and is quite expensive. If your a huge home theater movie buff, worth the cost I guess.
