Thanks for the link. They seem to be attributing any differences to servo noise being passed through the DAC. So I guess that would make me right on the cause, but wrong on the mechanism? Interesting their comment about designers not being careful enough with DAC voltage refs. When I was messing around with video ADCs and DACs in the dim and distant past, we were always very respectful of the references! -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36503 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
