Why don't we take a breather now and distill this thread into one crucial question: how is it possible that TT3.0 kicks ass on any previous mods we've been trying with the Touch? I don't think anyone has a rock solid explanation, which is why we're wringing our hands and scratching our heads here. Even the most hardened cynics and skeptics cannot help but hear, in all its glory, how fully applied TT3.0 mods FUNDAMENTALLY alter the very character of the sound delivered by the Touch. Yes, but how to explain that? (and if you can produce a hero who insists that he cannot hear this radically altered sound that now comes with TT3.0, I'll show you a full blown bullshitter). So these radical results are undeniable -- what's not undeniable is the theory that would explain how's this all possible. I don't think we are equipped, at this point, to cope with this conundrum. Let's assume, for argument's sake, that TT3.0 mods are not delivering any improvements over the native Touch (keep in mind that some inmates even claim that TT3.0 WORSENS the sound!) Still, what remains undeniable is the fact that TT3.0 mods DO alter the quality of sound delivered by the Touch. That is not to say that the altered sound quality is an improvement, just a change. Folks, I don't have a reasonable explanation of how is that possible, given the rather soft and feeble nature of the TT3.0 mods. I am personally buying Klaus's explanation (i.e. that each digital bit, as it arrives via electrical current, needs to be declared as being either 'on' or 'off', and that often times it's not an easy decision to make, so the more we tame the going ons inside the circuitry, the easier it gets to declare something as '1' or '0'). Others may raise their eyebrows at this anecdotal explanation. At the end of the day, who cares. As someone said, our music libraries are growing by the day (thank you, torrent community;), however the time available for enjoying music is not growing. Rather than obsess over the excruciating minutia of bits and bytes, let's enjoy the fruits of Klaus's labor, which he so generously shares with us:) -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 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
