I agree that you need to use a variety of music as some shows differences more clearly. This is definitely true. However, the cables etc are a constant and we are looking for a delta here. Your ears (and mine) are the most unreliable tools on the planet. Actually it's not our ears, but our brains... Just because a thousand people "noticed" a difference doesn't mean there actually is one. The software works just fine. This is easily proven by using a control test. Anyway, the good news is that this afternoon I have retrieved my SB3 from the loft and wired it up. I can run some fresh tests with SB3 and Touch. The quality of the ADC in my soundcard in my PC is not going to be an issue here. I have owned and used some of the very best soundcards available. Certainly more than the average audiophile. The rest I'm afraid is just maths. I'd love to know what else there is to "take into consideration" ? Your ears are better than the software? - anyone making this claim is going to face VERY stiff opposition. If this is the basis for your remarks, then I have a little test for you :-) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
