There's an interesting thing we tried with Apple streaming. A friend of mine has Apple Music and apparently everything is streamed in lossless. She picked up apple to RCA cord and we compared it to the CD. The difference was drastic. Poor channel separation and frequency response from I-phone. It was borderline unlistenable VS $300 CD player.

No one could tell the difference because they didn't use the right cables.
That switch probably used soldered connections internally, so that killed any chance at audiophile greatness.
My Apple Music streaming has never been better since I built my analog router.
