good - there is no difference - ADM can't measure one and I don't think John Swenson's Spectrum Analyser can measure one either. John? All these theories about extra noise from the Xilinx (or whatever) are simply not supported by any measurements. These effects should be completely repeatable and easily measured... but they aren't. A properly controlled DBT would certainly fail as well. If there was anything in this theory, you might like to try to hear a difference between flac compression level zero and flac C 8. The xilinx is going to be working a lot harder for C 8... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
