The subject was partly about digital transports not only the analog side .
If digital transports differ into a decent DAC one of them is broken or you be hearing things . or the DAC is very weird ( it could be in this case ) If Carys SACD thing is also a tube thing it may explain stuff ,not the same design goal proper rendering of the signal vs a sound effect . No I don't "believe" in the tube "magic" there is only thd and weird impedance . I have heard set triode stuff and other tubed amps nice but in treality they are all bettered by ht recievers found in the supermarket sorry . So if you know how to design electronics you don't use vacuum tubes in audio applications , unless you are confused yourself ( lost in the mire of subjectiveness ) or a cynic that rips of audiophiles . My pet hate is audio note thier equipment is extremely expensive junk they represent all that is wrong with high end in one company :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96407 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
