True story: I removed a USB-C to USB-A adapter from a port on my Mac mini and noticed an immediate improvement in sound quality. It's great, but something like that shouldn't have that strong an effect. I removed the adapter because I no longer need it, but what if I did?

Just keep listening.

Some changes are euphonic, in the sense of subjectively pleasing, but do not bring lasting value or ultimately cause listener fatigue.

On second thought, nobody needs extra doodads on their devices that do not add value.

P. S. I notice the guy with the amp and cat is more overweight. That's a nice touch.

Seven days later, the change remains and I'm very happy with my system.

Now that the weather is warming up, I can go back to smelling sweat slightly when I'm wearing my headphones, even though if I sniff my headphones, they don't smell like anything.
