no no no no 1) I'm using FLAC files from CD as the source. 2) what is this cheap ADC you are referrring to? - I have some very expensive ones to hand (Apogee, RME Hammerfall...) However, the differnce process doesn't require a world class ADC, just a competent one. 3) two digitizations using my test rig get a correlation of -92 to -100dB that's about as good as it CAN get! bitperfect is important but is a complete red herring in this dicsussion. It's the DAC that makes (or I should say recovers) the music. and the DAC needs more than bits, it needs a clock!. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
