Right - we may not know about all the variables, but agree there may be unknown ones. This is why I like trusting my ears first and think second. darrenyeats;230026 Wrote: > There might be plenty of audiophile customers who like the sound of (and > have invested a lot of money into) their DAC.

I know of no reason why nor have experience that would make me assume the PLL of my DAC should handle different inputs differently. As you could see in my lengthy "sonic impressions" post, the perceived differences I mentioned were the same regardless of the DACs in question. Which doesn't mean I don't believe what you say may be the case with some DACs. As mentioned before, I've even seen measurement of ones with incorrect impedance, for both AES/EBU and S/PDIF inputs.
