Iâ(TM)ve been waiting for targeted advertising in all of my outlook emails, and more data collection efforts! Actually put a rotating ad banner in the ribbon too!
You're forgetting a fundamental piece of the digital source, the DAC.
You're home stereo outputs an analog signal to your amplifiers, and then to your speakers. A digital source (which i DO prefer) requires a DAC to convert the signal to an analog path. Much of the loss of quality happens at this layer, not in the source itself.
I've noticed a large difference in audio output quality based on this single component. I'm really enjoying the Schiit Audio DACs for the money, hard to beat!
The comments section on this site has really gone downhill. Where did all of the intellectually brilliant and funny comments go?
Could it be a new age of younger, less smart people due to frequent use of cell phones and Facebook? Has the NSA infested the community? Mass mind control?
Its bad for media streaming companies like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. It's also horrible for us cord cutters out there and is basically just a 'cord cutter tax'. If you aren't going to pay for their awful/expensive cable TV service now they are just gonna bleed you for it. If I had an alternative in my neighborhood like Verizon FIOS or Google Fiber I'd switch immediately. Another aspect of this could encourage certain consumers to steal a neighbors WiFi to avoid usage charges.

2 Reasons: -- Lack of growth opportunities in a family run business -- Boys club mentality that wouldn't promote any women into leadership roles
Crap in, crap out. Yes.
