I'm talking about source signals. My understanding is that most of them start off their life being unbalanced and end up undergoing transformation whilst being converted into balanced somewhere along the line. -- Pneumonic Main: Transporter Squeezebox 3 > Metric Halo ULN2 .................... > Sonic Frontiers Ultra Jitterbug > Roksan DAC/PS Modwright Sony SCD 777ES Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 Preamp Quicksilver Silver 90 Mono Power amps Martin Logan CLS IIa Speakers Office: Squeezebox 3 > Lite Audio DAC60 Muse Model One Preamp Quicksilver 8417 Mono Power amps Vandersteen 2Ci Speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pneumonic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10091 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71190 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
