Try it some time. :)Ummm, ok. Are you just pulling jitter measurements from

Cool, thanks for the explination. Dan also mentioned that my DA10 has
the RAM buffer as well... which I was unaware of. ;)

I actually sent the Brochure and Manual for the Digital Lens to Dan
Lavry for his opinion... and lets just say he doesn't have a high
opinion of what they are trying to sell. I'll take a look at that

Very cool, can't wait to see where you go with this John.
As to the volume control, that can be disabled in the SlimServer
software so that it does not change the data. I would suggest using
the volume control on your DAC or preamp instead. :)

Interesting... I guess I'll have to burn them to CD and listen on my
Eastsound CD-E5 to Lavry Black DA10. Will that be a truer test?

That Genesis Digital Lens sounds like a really cool piece of kit. I
just read a few reviews on it... too bad it was discontinued in 2003.
Any ideas if there are other similar devices out there made by other
manufacturers?

Frankly I think you really need to spend more like USD2000 for a DAC to

FWIW, Dan Lavry says that the Lavry Black sounds about the same as the
Lavry Blue. ;)

The Lavry is quite smooth, yet detailed and resolving.
I haven't heard the DAC-AH, but it is a NOS design I believe and they
sound quite a bit different I hear.

I think there is either something wrong with these samples or my
speakers... either that or My Wife and I have amazing hearing.
We were both able to clearly hear up to 25k.
One strange thing I noticed was that the 22k sample was less distinct
than 23k-25k. Wierd.

I don't know about that... the tones were all similar sounding, just
harder to hear and they changed in character slightly as we went up to
25k.

Philodox - what I am saying is that bass solidity (well defined, easy to

Eastsound for critical listening. Perhaps a battery PSU for the
Squeezebox will even out the playing field. ;)

Well, a buddy of mine has a few nice big batteries and a charge

testing to be sure that I am not imagining

streaming [no decode to WAV] and just have the song in both FLAC and

I'll read through the thread in a moment, but I have found personally
that coax is far better. I think it is the fault of the Squeezebox 3
and not my DAC [Lavry Black DA10] as coax and optical are nearly
identical when using my Eastsound CD-E5 as a transport.
