I'm not making any such blanket statement. However for most modern digital sources (including the very expensive ones) the differences are slim to none (no pun intended!). Same goes for amplifiers. Sometimes, in some situations, you *might* be able to hear differences, but it's the exception that proves the rule. I can sum it up by saying that all good sources sound identical - if there's an audible difference one of them isn't well designed and is adding distortion. You're expressing a strongly biased opinion. I'm stating a fact backed up by many blind listening tests, measurements of the magnitude of the differences, and 150 years of research into acoustics and the limits of human hearing. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39093 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
