I apologise if I made some kind of thread mistake , please understand that I am totally "new" on forum behaviour

As I said on a precedent post the differences I'm trying to report here are amplified by an "audiophile vision of the world " and , as you said for USB cable,not enough to matter for most of the people out there , but unfortunately , I do prefer my Oyade USB cable rather than a commercial one, and I do prefer file 3 vs file 1 and file 2. P.S.The fact that File 1 and 2 are indistinguishable is probably the prove that my network is working fine

I see your point, but sometimes believe in your senses can result in great discovery ?

Hope this will not be over my computer skills..but I'll try. Would you please tell me the name of the right software to use? Thank you.

New " experiment ": 1. Rip a sacd with the oppo connected to my network. 2. Rip ,same sacd ,with the oppo directly connected to my windows 10 laptop via 1 meter cat 6 UTP crossover cable. 3. Rip ,same sacd, with the oppo directly connected to my windows 10 laptop via 0,25 meter cat 6 S-FTP crossover cable. Listening results: 1 and 2 : almost indistinguishable 3 : tighter and more dynamic bass more focused and stable images ,sound almost indistinguishable from the original sacd played by the oppo connected via monster 1000 HDMI cable to the bryston bda 3. I have done at the end also a blind test with the help of my son switching the files from the bryston bdp 2 player and I was able to get every time 1 and 2 from 3 ! The short length of the connection cable(25 cm,less than a foot) seem to by the key of preserving the same sound of the original sacd. If anyone will try this experiment and see if he will end up with the same result .. I probably know that someone will find this a little bit crazy but we are audiophiles and best sound does it matter , right?

Thanks. Keep in mind that we're talking about differences noticeable in our " audiophile World " but Yes I have done I blind test before reporting, I've been helped by the sensible ears of my thirteen years old son who plays drums that help me to notice the dynamics softness of the drums , and about the slightly out of focus sound it reminds me when you connect a very cheap CD player to the bryston bda 3 instead of a reference cd trasport..

Hi everybody, first of all excuse my English because is not my language, second , since it's the first time in my life that I am writing on a forum , please forgive me if I by mistake break some of the rules . I would like to thanks the genius how made (finally after almost 20 years!)this sacd ripping so easy and all the people of the forum for the clear explanations they give us. Here's my experience: I give up buying an oppo Eu103d ( in Europe is very expensive almost double the Us price! So I have to buy it in England thanks to the weakness of the pound to save a little bit of money) I have made my first rip of a sacd with my oppo connected to my network and a second rip ,same sacd, with the oppo directly connected to my windows 10 PC via a very short (25cm,less than a foot) cat 6 shielded crossover cable. I am very unhappy to report that the second rip sound better and extremely similar to the sacd played with the oppo connected via monster1000 HDMI cable to my Bryston bda 3 dac ,while the first rip sound a little bit out of focus and dynamically softened in comparison
