So.... On the specific versions I tested, 7.4 is slightly more similar to 7.2.1 than it is to 7.3.2!!! However, they are ALL very similar... on none of these tests can I hear any appreciable MUSIC in the difference files even with max boost. Right, time for some gardening. The sun is shining :) on the analogue outs of a stock SB3. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
