Here's a test: start with a CD track - so we know exactly what the bits are. put through a good DAC and analogue interconnects to a suitable high quality and calibrated ADC - record the bits. Compare the recorded bits with the original bits. Any change must be induced by the cable. Repeat with endless cables - analyze the results. I'd expect to find that some cables changed the sound and some didn't... Anyone care to try this? (I don't have a suitable ADC anymore or I'd do it myself)
The benchmark would be with the DAC and ADC hard-wired with no intervening cable... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38902 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
