[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Interesting Articles in The Absolute Sound

I just picked up this months issue of The Absolute Sound, and there are some interesting articles on network music servers in it. Unfortunately, no discussion of the Slim Devices, but some pretty bold statements that run contrary to what some other Hi End mags have said such as, and I quote:

We use Sencore test gear for all of our digital post-production suites. Info at http://www.sencore.com/products/da795.htm. Their analog sets are great, too. -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Interesting Articles in The Absolute Sound

It's a start, but they have to move slowly because just like politicians, it would be stupid to tell the truth that We don't really understand engineering that well, so we make half of it up because we get paid to. -- SuperQ

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter test track for 24/96 vs 16/44?

I would like a demo track that one can play that shows the diff between 24bit/96khz and 16bit/44khz CD quality... Has anyone taken some 24/96 music, downsampled to 16/44, upsampled back to 24/96, and finally mixed together to produce a final 24/96 flac demo track in which you can hear a few

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter balanced analog
