Hmm - the SHM CD's tend to use a master that is unique to the Japanese market and Japanese issues in general. However as you say in some cases the masters are identical. I must do more research into this. One thing of note: In my experience, the differences we are talking about here are bigger than differences between DAC's and amps - not subtle ones. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
