Just out of curiousity, have you ever compared two DACs with the same source and heard a difference? I have, but only when one was distorting due to an impedence mismatch. When both DACs are reasonably well designed and functioning properly, volume matched, and with a decent source, I doubt very much there will be any audible differences. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20789 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
