Absolutely. Ideally we will do an A/B of an SB3/TP, both analogue outs and digital to a DAC, but that depends in part on the patience of my host...

If you really heard a difference due to distortion at -120 dB, it goes against every piece of research on this subject I've ever seen (which is only a small sample, so if anyone has a reference to something contrary to that I'd be happy to see it). And it's not *my* theory - but thanks, I'm flattered - it's the theory developed over centuries by scientists doing carefully controlled experiments. > > (BTW, doesn't your 'theory' above make a nonsense of all the precise > volume matching normally advocated in DBT?

You're confusing the absolute threshold for hearing with the minimum detectable fluctuation in volume, which (for SPL well above threshold) is around 1 dB or a bit less. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34980 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
