That may be what you are doing is working out what you are going to do rather than testing it out a bit at a time. Obviously for audio quality you can't always tell the difference so matching up against parameters of what the system is capable of doing and trying that first is better than opting for for something less. I sense you might not have had scientific experimental training. Think you might be taking a holistic systems approach rather than a reductionist approach. The latter, the principal of optimality is that a solution to part of the problem, is part of the solution to the whole problem. What would we do without decision theory... probably experiment. You cross one bridge at a time at a time is a good maxim for getting things working and completed rather than bothering and worrying about doing it. Moving on from management science...

I can't test when I don't have the device I'm thinking of buying.

Furthermore, whilst I'm happy to tinker, I need to understand. When I say 'need', I am stupidly obsessive about it. It bothers me. As a (retired) technical architect I can't really go forward without a design I comprehend.
