    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    It is easier to seek forgiveness than to ask permission

    So you think RCA out on CCA is better than RCA out on laptop?

    Fair enough. Not tried a laptop to amp but I have tried CCA via RCA and thought it average at best even for the £25 I paid for it.

    Can I ask what settings you used in Google Home when you tried it?

    Because I was using the toslink cable - Full Dynamic Range is auto selected, which I'm sure is the best it can give.

    You can't select it when using the 3.5 - RCA cable which is why I was using the mini toslink to my SEG DAC.
