It is a cd source. And I think from this point forward I will rip at default. but like I said I have done a lot of testing between the 2, and didnt notice a difference, just a what I perceive to be a small amount of greater resolution to string instruments. (if I had a blind test, I would not be able to tell a difference.!) lol. -- SOWK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOWK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6125 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24926 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
