He, he! Thanks for that snippet! I would never have read far enough to see that... Really funny! BTW, I used to have a Marantz SA-1 which read the discs at 2x normal speed, thus most definately did not have data induced jitter. "Tosh" is the word. Of course, the memoryplayer could still sound good -but not for the reasons stated. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31595 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
