That's exactly right -- and notice his prominent use of the word "perhaps." Perhaps.
And...the Ayre costs $6k, or twenty Squeezeboxes. And, with all due respect to the writer, JA specifically disavows blind and double-blind testing. Forget about what kind of connection was used; the fact is, it would be hard for a lot of people to look at the Ayre, then look at the SB, and not come up with some ephemeral difference. Besides, there is this, which, again, is hardly worth discussing: a DAC that fully buffers and re-clocks the incoming signal pretty much renders the transport, cable, etc., a neutral factor. -- highdudgeon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ highdudgeon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2195 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22301 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
