And hifi critic has published reports that hard drives sound different. One could perhaps be forgiven for thinking there were two John atkinsons if one reads his measurement reviews on the one hand and the subjective stuff on the other. Some time ago he wrote a piece on what disc spinners measurd well enough for 16 bit or hi res playback. He said at the time it would be followed by one on transports and one on dacs. I don't think these follow ups have appeared. I wonder whether this I'd because his measurements would have shown that pretty much and transport would do into any number of cheap dacs. Equally I have never seen any measurements of smarts
I appreciate the argument about the possibility that one measures the wrong things -- adamdea ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamdea's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37603 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
