Because he looked at and redesigned the WHOLE power distribution. Similar to a computer nobody put in faster CPU's to make there computer faster. You need a faster buss, faster drives, faster memory. The system needs to be scaled to the new speeds or the uadio case tolerances. Why put a better supply if the first regulator will bring it back down to the same level of tolerance. -- mswlogo Thinkpad XP SS > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF-COAX > Meridian 861V4 (Trifield, Room corrected, Upsampled) > DSP5500 Mains, DSP5500HC Center, DSP33 Rears ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26306 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
