Willing to bet with a high amount, this means that you are willing to take responsibility for your comments! Otherwise, your comments will have no credibility, especially when using strong wording comments!
If you don't want to lose money, you can choose to use science to explore the grounding box.
I have used power conditioners for a long time, so I am sure that it is only suitable for low-power products. Relatively, have you compared it and know this huge limitation?
No. Not wanting to lose money means you do not have good reason believe that the contest will be decided fairly. You have described very sketchy process with no clear disclosure of how a winner would be decided. For example, if I can pick all the judges, then I am happy to bet because there is no risk.
You have also have not said how it would be determined that to win you would be able to prove a 30% sound quality improvement. What if I say the improvement is only 27% so you lose. Will you pay?
I have tried other ground boxes similar to yours and they never work. Do you know this huge limitation?
In my opinion, I would rather buy a Power Distributor with Obsidian, such as Furutech Pure Power 6 NCF Super Barrier Power Distributor, because it has not the filtering with side effects, even high power power amplifiers can be used. In the Furutech Pure Power 6 NCF Super Barrier Power Distributor, only has the grounding box function by the Obsidian and the heavy metal shell. If the grounding box does not make any sense, why is the well-known Furutech's Power Distributor for 14,000 ? If you are buying an outlet, you should know that Furutech's power-related components are the best in the world.

Your argument is like the sound of the XX brand's speaker is very bad, then you infer that the expensive burmester speaker is definitely poor?
Among the grounding boxes you can buy, only Entreq's grounding box is a true grounding box, and the rest is a fraud box. I also bought this type of fraud box before I studied the grounding box. However, many people are misled by these fraud boxes, I am afraid you are also! If you do not want to be misled, you should first try the speaker cable as a grounding box!
The fraud box you got, they have the ability to describe the grounding box principle in detail like me. Since you are so sure, the grounding box I made is equivalent to those fraud boxes, you bet with me, you will earn 1 million, There is no reason not to gamble with me?
@yunyun
Please start your OWN thread on the subject of your choice. This thread has been opened by @Greg Stewart for discussing matters related to IanCanada's Latest RPi GB Goodies.
As I said before, find a lawyer to sign the contract, we both first transfer $1 million to the trust account, and the winner takes all the money! Since you said the grounding box never work, I said that it is effective. Therefore, the decision to win or lose is very simple. As long as a few people are randomly selected, these people will hear more the details of the sound by the grounding box, I win and you lose! Advise you not to deliberately drill the tip of the 30%, 27%, this do not cover up you. There is no confidence in your judgment!
I am discussing the enhancements related to Ian's shield. Why can't I discuss it here?
I will win and you will lose, if we specify that the testing must be double-blind! The listeners will not know if the ground box is connected or not because they can't see it. Then they will hear no difference, as you well know and fear!
Guys,
Can we please get back on topic
I finished my first Andrea Mori sc-cut clock and it is now running in on the fifopi.
After 4 hours playing it is already far ahead of the crystec I had as previous reference.
This is sounding so much better; more dynamics, more openness, deeper and wider soundstage, easier to hear all the details, more focussed sound / less smearing. Did I mention dynamics?
I have planned to build an oven to run it on the ideal temp. So the phase noise will be even lower.
This is a highly reccommended addition.

Congratulations Supersurfer on being the first to hear the SC cut crystal on FIFOPi!!
Thanks for describing the sound. Certainly confirms there is always reward for improving clock performance. I am not surprised, but it is encouraging to those of us who have not yet tackled the clock build. Another week until that critical inductor is restocked and I will follow your lead.
Can you indicate what length and type of cable you used to connect the clock to FIFO? I am looking at low loss SMA 1 foot or less.
You have more to come. With the oven and burn in this will continue to improve over the coming weeks and months.
I would agree, and an empty steel case from an old PC may be ideal for test purposes. Steel is much better at stopping RF than aluminum.
Besides finding that sound quality of the FIFO_Pi/Dual_ES9038Q2M dac was best when fed I2S from a USB board, and if all the boards were somewhat separated from each other (as posted about previously), I recently found that McFIFO sounded a lot better when placed in a steel case. Don't know about FIFO_Pi (there is a lot of environmental RF where I am up on top of a hill in a pretty highly populated area).
Have not noticed similar issues with TP Chronus/Amaero. Not sure why, haven't really tried to find out. Busy with other things. AK4499 sounds great
EDIT: I would still vote for asking Ian to separate AVCC left and right in a future revision of the dac. Some people will probably find going to the trouble of powering the full stereo option to be very worthwhile.

Mah i have some details on Andrea mori clock ?
warning to yunyun, this is and english speaking forum, please abide....
