(3) Snake oil, and the subjective impression that it changed the audio at all is (a) Technically impossible (b) Just another example of why all audiophile sighted evaluations are useless and misleading. One more time - here is how life works: Audio data encoded digitally is sacrosanct. It either is what it is, or it is nothing at all, or at least temporarily interrupted. It can be screwed up audibly during the transition back to analog, but unless your USB hardware is utter crap, reclocking and power regeneration can't change it in any audible way but break it if they are broken. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106914 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
