       Listen, I don't want to give legitimacy to audiophiles but let me tell you I can definitely detect when my gaming PC decides to send a stereo stream rather than DTS or 7.1 even though the stream is meant to be just stereo.

       @flameeyes next thing you’ll tell me is that gold cables make a difference!

       @gsora no, but skimping on cables and getting some marginal ones because "they work" has backfired for me in the past.I was going crazy with this PC connection to the TV. A colleague suggested a cable that was twice as expensive as the one I was using. It solved everything.

       @flameeyes @gsora Oh, so much this. Random black screens, lack of audio, various other glitches, all because my collection of HDMI cables included a number that were barely suitable for 1080p let alone 4K with audio.
