Couldn't agree more - if there's a difference then surely the CONTRAST between 'before' and 'after' should be most notable at the changeover. Our other senses tend to behave this way I believe. Of course, that short 30s 'golden period' only applies to uncompressed music. For streamed FLAC it's a good 50% longer, and for 'insane' MP3 it's half of a typical 3 minute track. Of course, the problem here is that those hearing the network effects will claim that FLAC, and especially insane MP3s, already sound too bad to hear the effect. -- chill ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93257 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
