By that I mean access to lots of cool equipment (at no cost or at a greatly reduced price) and industry insider status. Do you remember the last time the president or owner of a high end audio equipment company came to your house to set up a piece of equipment? No, well neither do I but I bet that Mr. Lavorgna does.

So your transporter is either ignoring your setting, synchronizing (poorly) to your disc player, or just running a PLL in free running, unsynchronized mode. I think you have just proven that technically inferior (or no change at all) can sound better... To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.

'Here's a USB device' (http://www.audiostream.com/content/audioquest-jitterbug) that's supposed to benefit your audio when plugged into an unused USB socket! According to AudioQuest, sonic benefits can be gained by plugging a Jitterbug into most any unused USB port that's connected to your hi-fi, even those pesky stray ports that reside on your NAS. Fascinating. Amazing stuff.
