That's a point well taken and it would be nice to know what other gear he was using. However, Mauidan was wrong: we know what JA used in his review, and it was a pretty nice bit of gear. The other point I was trying to make, and it quite valid, is that a properly functioning DAC does not care what transport or cable you are using, so long as the input bits are there. The idea is that it deals with jitter all on its own. A poorly designed DAC, of course, does not do this, or at least doesn't do a very good job, and so the differences in transporters and/or cables become relevant.

In a larger room, I would move back to larger speakers, subs, and probably RCS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ highdudgeon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2195 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27452 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
