That just my 2 cents Good points - and your 2 cents are probably equivalent of quite a bit more in the audiophile universe. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.

my first clue about his status was his remark about the Hi Rez files not sounding Audiophile quality. How many years have this board and many others had this debate on audiophile quality, when we all know or should know it all starts at the master recording. Just because a file is in FLAC of some other Hi Rez format does not mean it automatically can pass as audiophile. That just my 2 cents 1st Touch in main HT rig hardwired to router connected 2nd Touch Wirelessly connected (Master Bedroom) 3rd Touch Wirelessly connected (bedroom) 4th Touch wirelessly connected (bedroom) 5th Touch 2 Wirelessly connected (livingroom) 6th Touch 4 Wirelessly connected (downstairs bedroom) Server (In garage) running on Duo Core P4 3.0 GHz 4 gig ram Windows 7 64 bit 350 Xternal gigHD 1TB backup Verizon Fios wireless router w/HG antana Recoveryone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9205 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107474 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Didn't we have something similar lately with a Brokkoly DAC?
