I don't know (and I don't care) about what some people might think @ Audiophile.
What is sure, is that CD players don't use their error recovery system causing interpolation, except on some rare cases with heavily damaged CDs. Most of the time, error correction is done way before the synchronous digital path. So, I think that whatever difference may be (for a signal going through an external dac) it can only come from the quality of the SPDIF conversion. Also, I believe the following is also true : anybody will find the same signal sounding "better" when it goes through a cheapish device (like the SB3 is, compared to some CD players). I've tested this with several of my friends. ;) -- Themis SB3 - North Star dac 192 - Denon 3808 - Sonus Faber Grand Piano Domus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Themis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14700 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57173 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
