I've been looking for a small integrated amp with a digital input to put
in a bedroom system with a Squeezebox Touch and some Martin Logan
Electromotion ESLs. I've found the Cyrus 8QX amp and Perreaux 80i (which
is made locally here in NZ) and I have also been recommended the Linn

Neh :) Of course, a claim - wether positive or negative - presented
without argument is not worth a penny. But this just resolves into what
constitutes an argument. Here traditions vary depending on the science,
and I'm sure some audiophile story-tellers are in fact able to present
sequences o

Yes i agree 100% and that extends to all laws of physics there is no

Sure - engineering is applying the science in real world situations. But

:) enjoy your coffee mnyb! I am listening to some recently released
stuff i havent bought yet on Spotify in shrug Mp3...

Maybe, but you can't argue that by referring to (only) Nyquist - the

Good times and we're all in agreement :)
But.
The one-liner scientific argument (Nyquist) doesn't carry through to the
end (the analog outputs of Your DAC). While Nyquist is a very nice
result, its theoretical and for practical purposes, non-constructive. So
an implementation is forced to take a

You might be right. "The National Science Foundation stated that
pseudoscientific beliefs in the U.S. became more widespread during the
1990s, peaked near 2001, and declined sli

Yes - the next thing he will be claiming is that you get a "clearer" and

+1 Try more current LMS and player fw ! ( if it/was a bug it could have
been fixed ages ago and everyone have already forgot about it ) ,
I have no trouble running 48khz or 96khz or 44.1 or 88.2
What are the file formats involved ? If you haven't try flac , this is a
good baseline and no weird
Upgrading LMS to something more current might help.
