I'm sure I understand what you mean plus I'm pretty sure that you misunderstood what I was trying to say. So let me try to clarify. At present in the audiophile world that is a belief that some digital audio music streaming devices are able to provide a better sounding data stream to an external DAC. In other words, music coming out of the external DAC when it is connected to music streamer "A" sounds better than music coming out of the external DAC when it is connected to music streamer "B". We are of course talking when each music streamer is streaming the same exact file and we are only referring sound quality, not ease of use, user interface, etc. bhaagensen wrote: > http://bercospopcorn.com/popcorn/billion-dollar-popcorn-193.html Double blind testing has conclusively shown that this so called billion dollar popcorn is completely indistinguishable to week old stale popcorn dug out from between a sofa's cushions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 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
