It is bit perfect - easily proven countless times, by playing dts files, these simply will not play at all if one bit is incorrect. How big is this magnet? No dogma required here, just an understanding of how things work and how to test them. If the sound doesn't change when the cable is pulled, this implies that nothing on the server/network is influencing the sound. Unless that is we want to discuss the theory that the "damage" has already been done and the buffer content is already some how polluted... Which is going to be a pretty hard concept for most folks to even entertain since the buffer only holds data values ( zero or one) and we absolutely know it holds the correct values (see above). Again, how big is this magnet? -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
