I had a couple of old Philips players once, and subsequently an Arcam player with a 16 bit DAC. Enjoyed the Arcam but I wouldn't call it uniquely capable versus newer 24 bit systems. I would say it had a particular type of distortion that's enjoyable if you like rock/dance music.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drmatt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59498 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105572 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
