If u measure at the output of the DAC and the outputs are identical the case is closed.
This whole treads exist solely because the deliberate choice of *not* using scientific methods in a matter thats is possible to apply scientific methods on. Hence discussions on which OS sound best feeding a squeezebox ? This is alchemy. the idea the reasonably well engineered sources feeding reasonably well designed DAC's sound different is in itself very questionable, the base assumption that this is the case is very likely wrong . but still I gain insigth and knowledge about the innards of the squeezebox from this tread I don't use the toolbox I've manually turned of some unecessary things, the player is more snappy and reacts faster to user inputs if you offload some task you don't want. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
