As I've stated several times on this forum I only subscribe to Stereophile and The Absolute Sound for a few reasons: 1) The subscriptions are cheap at about $1 per issue 2) The laughs I get from reading all the nonsense published by these so called "experts" are priceless. For example any one with a decent understanding of digital audio knows that USB cables cannot add to or subtract from jitter, which basically proves that the clowns who write for the high end audio magazines are not the "experts" they claim to be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98828
