There's plenty for me to think about in the previous few posts, as I
have been ripping to FLAC and Ogg using CDex on my laptop. I can see
that I can probably do better and also do things to check the quality
of my FLACS.
I did once set about installing EAC, but had other things to do that
and making plenty $$ from some very gullable people but hey
that's business for you!

I have play around with DAC68 for quite a while. Sound quality is very
good. I made certain mod but a minimum that gives big improvement
should at least change output cap and linestage tube.
Don't believe any ad., DAC68 is a 24/96 upsampling dac but 24/192. The

It has one unbalance output, one balance output and one fixed unbalance

it use Class A transistor output stage - not tube. I

Hmm - it doesn't sound to me like they vary much at all if that's true.
If those rates are per bit, 10^{-11} would be something like one single
bit error every 10 discs, which is more than good enough. Bear in mind
that single bit errors will be totally inaudible.
I'll admit that in the past I have delved into some of the more
esoteric tweaks...
I now operate a simple and strict policy: If I can't measure the
improvement or my wife (NOT me) can't hear it then I don't purchase it

I've noticed the following:
My own system doesn't sound *exactly* the same if i listen to the same
piece of music -say- 15 minutes later. The sound that i perceive
depends on my own ability of paying attention to some selected details.
It definetely doesn't sound the same depending on my mood.
