I didn't open this device, don't know what it is or how it is made, but I'm curious to know what makes you think that a firm that makes amplifiers don't know about all what you say. And why they couldn't (or wouldn't) produce a passive amp (to switch sources that have only fixed outputs, I presume ?) correctly ? -- 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=67711 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
