Class A power consumption is sort of a joke 👍

To cure his 'arrogance' perhaps you should explain to him how a cable can be directional.

You don't need a separate, external DAC with either of the Wiim streamers Tezza - as they both have them built in. The Pro has its analogue output on RCA sockets, so just a twin RCA cable would connect it to a line input on your A1 amp. The Pro has optical and coaxial digital outputs, which...

I'd be surprised if it didn't.

Other magazines have been known to cover those type of devices. But most of us here have ripped CDs to HDD using PCs and the likes of EAC (Exact Audio Copy). I use a Raspberry Pi, but if I was starting out now I'd be looking at a Wiim Mini with an S.M.S.L. SU1 DAC, total price £156 - which will...

The spikes would be straight through to the tiles PP. (And if they weren't, they'd be unnecessary).

Then your hearing would have to be very poor for you not to hear the benefit of a streamer. Might be an idea for you to clue up on what the Wiim Mini and Wiim Pro streamers can do. (They belong to the sensible value category of product - unlike some other standalone streamers). And your CDP; if...

If there is excess reverberation in his room, he  will be wasting money until he sorts out the acoustics. He may not want to hear that, but it's an unavoidable fact - confirmed to me by experience.

Balanced headphones use four conductors Margaret - and balanced headphone cables are what this thread is concerned with.
