Red LED's give my power supply a musically warm, rounded tone, but for
ultimate analytic accuracy (best paired with a 24/96 DAC) the blue LED
is the proven leader. Some may be swayed by the green LED's
manufacturer's claims to have the best PRAT, but don't believe the
hype.

Yeah, I figured the same thing. But the Power One PS was cheap enough
for me to find out. I was blown away by the difference!

Good, although to be honest $600 for a new pair is actually pretty good.
I make that to be approx £330. I think the best they sold new for in
the UK was £300.

It's very frustrating for ALL of us. Maybe a simple solution would be
to have a software option allowing us to "dial in" some attenuation (as
we can already do for the Pre Amp Volume Control), for SELECT Internet

It's called compression! - nothing to worry about. I live in hope that
one day we might get back to treating 0dB as a peak not an average...

Nature of the beast - Google it. We are all going to a great deal of

Well, of course most CD's do have some noise that is audible in quiet
passages...
Unless the DAC is muting the analogue signal when presented with
digital zero (unlikely) this is a better test than listening to a CD
with unquantifiable noise burnt onto it. Also, noise on the CD is
hardly going to

Thank goodness for clearing that up - I thought we were embarking for

Seriously, if you are going to worry about the LED, you'd really want
to disconnect the VFD which is after most of the
regulation//filtering...and then you've got no UI - so you use a
computer or a phone or a wi-fi

Google "LED noise", and you'll see how it's theoretically possible. Of
course, that doesn't necessarily mean the effects are audible. However,
