@vidister There are multiple Mac audio player apps marketed to audiophiles, including one fairly clever system hack that shadows iTunes, using it as a front-end while doing the actual file playing through its own superior whateveritis. And of course Windows audiophilia are legion.

So while I don't know whether Linux audiophiles are a thing, I'd be more surprised if there aren't any. It seems like the perfect intersection of people who want to think too much about how they use their computers and people who want to think too much about how they listen to sound.

And remember, never plug an audio device into a USB hub! It must plug directly into the computer itself! Otherwise there will be jitter! 😜
