I see... My experience of Musical Fidelity gear is that their clocks are not all they could be - they are built to a price. A really good clock is NOT cheap and requires an equally expensive ultra-low noise power supply. My own MF DAC has been completely rebuilt with ultraclocks etc. All this theory needs to be superseded by actually listening at some point... Also, if you are running the netbook on batteries, the USB isolator is pointless as there is no ground connection to be isolated from... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
