I must say when I heard Bwaslo setup it performed very well with no system sputter or any artifacts that one can expect from servers and the like . As well as having great sound stage imaging and very accurate timber to female voices as well as stringed instruments , bass that was right .

I can say that of most digital systems I have heard, I am not prone to hearing digital harshness etc. because I don't believe it exists.. I believe the increased resolution and lack of analogue softness is what the difference is.
My experience differs from yours on this subject . The harshness for me was traced to power supply noise generated by the digital circuits . Once that was controlled the harshness was reduced to a level that was not a problem for me . From a recording stand point I think your point is spot on . analogue verses digital are two opposite recording mediums with different part of their dynamic range having the best use . Much like tube to SS the change is two different medium trying to do the same job but behaving in way that are not at all the same . So for me what some call digital hardness is power supply noise caused by the circuit that was not addressed not the format short coming or overload that the recording engineer did not respect the limits of the medium. Well at least that has been my experience so far.
some people say, stax can be equal or better than hd800.
i dunno never heard hd800, stax genuine amps cost>500-1000€; but be honest; if a person is serious about dynamic/magneplanar phones-equal quality amp will cost same.
so, just comparing a phones prices-cheaper stax can be better
(i am biased (pun intended),dont take me too seriously )😀
I use a PC and stream over Ethernet to squeezeboxes so don't have noise problems... I then go and ruin it by playing through 6W mono block SET and OBs with a Fostex 8" mid range🙂 Must set up my SS system with my KEFs and some point and do some comparisons.

"The Curious outgrew a self-serving quest for better computer audio sound. Accordingly, Rob's website presentation—he sells direct—isn't on outlandish tech talk about how his wire acts as a super conductor at room temperature or other such bullocks. He only claims that it restores dimensionality as the attribute he found lacking in commercial wires. He also feels that his comes closer to the sound of vinyl. "

Certainly not 'bullocks'; no, the kind of pellucid nonsense that made me laugh - and despair at the state of the industry. The article is correct on only one respect: it is 'self-serving'. But not in a good way.

The answer appears to me to be D. C is a nonsense, irrationally constructed option so is by definition outside the scope of science.
The biggest bug bear about this and any digital cable is they need to be designed using good engineering practice, not this mickey mouse approach, where are references to controlled impedances, eye diagrams signal integrity noise measurements etc. I have noticed a similar approach with the plethora of add on filters for USB and Ethernet and "audiophile" USB hubs, one of the best being someone who equates signal integrity with a squarer edge on the digital waveform (i.e. a very, very fast rise time).....
