My CAS friends and I have been into CAS for nearly 10 years and have the following feelings to share : Are CAS really convenient?
Yes, extremely convenient in terms of expanding our music library and knowledge to near-infinity by streaming.
Yes, we can have handy & univeral controls : iPad/tablets, iPhones/Androids, remote site computers ...etc.
However in a hi-end CAS system there can be so many components : routers, audiophile switches, NAS, usb conditioner.
And associated LPS and cables too!
We deeply feel that for a hi-end CAS system, any of these components can affect the final sonic result easily. A lot of time/tries in tweaking/matching is a must.
Another concern is the investment.
We can't afford to use good/expensive cables on every CAS components!
Recently my friend Kahw and I found a good yet reasonably priced powercord for this particular use : Vertere Redline Power Cable.
