He's talking about the computation involved in turning any digital sound into the analog one needed for a speaker. If there's no cable between the digital-to-analog conversion chip and the analog speaker, there's no chance for cable characteristics to have an impact on the sound.
I think you're taking about audio pre-processing stuff that Spotify or others do to qualitatively ""enhance"" audio for their lowest common denominator listeners, which is completely independent from what's being discussed.
- tomc1985 6y agoThe wording implies there is at least some level of extra DSP going on (talk of "dynamic EQ" or whatever notwithstanding). Calling a digital-to-analog converter a "computational experience" seems beyond the pale, even for Apple PR hacks
- chungus_khan 6y agoPretty mainstream level of snake oil in the audiophile world though. Whom amongst us has not been told that this fancy power cable will be the second coming of Christ?
