"It's in the first post."
Well, not to be picky, but your preference wasn't reversed UNTIL you added the linear PSU into the picture. "My conclusion wasn't that an apple tastes like an orange. A difference was still apparent (as far as I could detect in the limited time available). It was just my preference that was reversed." Again, I do not claim that one is better than the other "absolutely". I claim there are differences and state my current preference. That's all. My preference may change as well, though I suspect not. I am going to compare some raw .wav's as suggested by TiredLegs to the original cd's (though, I did at one point compare both flacs and wav on my Squeezebox at one point and thought the differences were subtle at best but my system has changed somewhat since then). And I DO plan on purchasing an aftermaket PSU, probably the new CIAudio offering, out of curiosity. "I was trying to help you by sharing my experience. YMMV. Darren" I appreciate it. -- SatoriGFX ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SatoriGFX's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8852 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39113 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
