Out of interest, what do you think my "position" is?

As an aside - I actually find your prose hard to read as the shift key doesn't seem to work on your keyboard. > and you will find the same words about aes elsewhere so who's right? i > chose to take the suggestion of the designer of my dac as it seems to > be the most important device in my digital source. even upon review, it > seems quite logical, doesn't it? You chose to take the advice of the person who is taking your money? I'm not sure I'd use the word "logical" to describe that. You skipped my most important question/suggestion - have you tried a double blind test? If not, you should. Do *not* under-estimate the suggestive powers of your grey-matter.
