OK, thanks for the info! I noticed today that some of tha magic from yesterday wasn't there. Of course, audio memory is horribly unreliable, but memory of the general feeling of being there and being drawn into the performance is more reliable. I wasn't drawn in in the same way. It turned out that pulling out the coax SPDIF halfway and pushing it in again, on both sides, restored the magic. Suddenly all the ambient information was there again creating a virtual window into the recording. It sure seems the RCA interface is flawed. I'll look into high quality Toslink, as well as perhaps installing BNCs and suitable transformers. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28307 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
