You may very well be correct - however I have never kn
I'm certain this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the OP is being

Syncing of players is easily undone, and selecting/deselecting digital

Wow. That's an interesting discussion. It would simply be a lot of
hypothesis had they not in the first 5-6 minutes of the video given a
couple of demonstrations on how the ear/brain/eye can be made to "hear"
things that were never there in the first place.

I've explained. The "reset" is only necessary if the stored program
within the (Xilinx) FPGA needs to be reloaded from external memory. The
Xilinx FPGA doesn't "lose its program" when power is rem

The xilinx reset reloads its (stored) program from flash memory. This is
only necessary in the rare circumstance that the stored program becomes
corrupted and it certainly doesn't need to happen each time you power
it up. It would simply delay each bootup for no reason (9,999 times out
of 10,000).
No, not at all. They are three different things. Power off puts the
system in standby. Factory reset restores all user-controlled settings
to the factory defaults. Xilinx reset re-initializes the processor.

You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it
ain't what you'd call minimal...

Wouldn't a Xilinx device be reprogrammed at each power on/system reset
anyway? Nature of the beast...

How good is your top end hearing (ie over 14k?) - if it's as good as a
16-year old, go with the Ikon and get the benefit of its ribbon
tweeter.

Anyone got any view opinions on those models mentioned ?

Thanks for that...interesting and entertaining! Just got my unit
yesterday..early listening was quite nice but, as some have suggested
(and my local dealer did, too), I've been running it all night and will
continue to do so until I give it a real critical listen--maybe
tomorrow.

If you apply my Toolbox to the Touch, you can turn the analog output
off from the SW side.
At least the bits are no longer routed in parallel to all outputs in
that case.
