Yes, a HD just like a transport will be a fairly electro/magnetically noisy device. In a two-box solution, clocked from the DAC, however there shouldn't really be a problem... No it was a audio CD, as CD-ROM was hardly even invented at the time. The professor knew exactly how big a hole could be made before Reed-Solomon couldn't correct it any longer -which he demonstrated. A big hole if I remember correctly. (That old CD-player didn't conceal such errors.) The whole reading-error issue is very misleading, I feel. It is really a non-issue, unless you like to store your CDs unprotected on the floor... -- 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
