Just 80%!?!? My DAC or amp is not making any sounds. I hear 100% coming from my speakers. ;) My 2 cents: Every single part plays a major role in a pretty complex audio system. Meanwhile I consider the source more important than the speaker (assuming a reasonable quality device). That doesn't mean though, that I'd spent 3000+ for a source (anymore). I'm running a 250$ full-digital DIY amp nowadays (my Sabre and amps are settling dust). Full digital amps (DA conversion and amplification on a 2*2cm chip) would be a disaster for the audio industry. Probably one reason why this technology is not gaining market share. ;) -- soundcheck ::: ' Touch Toolbox 2.0' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com/2011/01/soundchecks-squeezebox-touch-toolbox-20.html) ::: by soundcheck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87098 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
