Yeah. If network storage devices introduced single-bit errors into data files often enough to be noticed by listening to them, the internet would break in about 3 seconds and Wall Street trading would stop in less time than that.My first thought was: Sure if the device is doing reading data, doing some transcoding for DLNA and then whatever does DLNA -> raw data conversion -> the DAC, that maybe the device could cause it to sound a bit different because the software may have been different causing some variance in the transcoded sound stream... then I started reading it was reading a raw FLAC off many devices and comparing "sound quality" I rolled my eyes and closed the browser tab.
Data is data at that point. A fool and his money....

All I know is that if I store my 64kbps MP3s on Western Digital hard drives, they sound better than when I used to store them on Seagate hard drives.
Probably from the clicking noise of your Seagates breaking

Possibly, but it's a little known secret that WD coats its platter with Armor-all and has a microscopic green line on the platters as well.
/Good grief, I'm old and wonders if anyone on hear knows wth I'm talking about.
Well, on HERE at least one person remembers Armor All and using a green Sharpie on CDs. But I was laughing at audiophile idiocy long before that, so I guess I'm old too.

Thoise people are way too extreme, everything from burn in to expensive cables
That website is notorious for deadpan audiophile humor. It's like the onion.
I'm surprised you guys didn't know this.
Everyone knows thisAny sufficiently advanced troll is indistinguishable from a genuine kook.
Palladian PowerKords represent the finest power cable available. The critics have been unanimous in their praise of the cable's transparency, detail, articulate bass, dynamic contrasts, musical ease and flow and freedom from grain.
