I have tried to steer clear of this thread lately, but like one of those ugly car wrecks on the highway you can't help from looking sometimes. I also don't see anywhere in this thread that soundcheck was attacked, but I see posts where Phil was attacked, and specifically by soundcheck. Someone, show me where soundcheck was attacked in this thread. In his 'original post in this thread' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=602139#post602139) soundcheck stated -"If you have any comments/questions let me know."- After various discussion of individual experiences with the mods Phil made the observation that "-'Interestingly, most people so far seem to have stated that they can't hear any differences/preferences on a quick a/b... seemingly the effect of the mods only becomes apparent after extended listening, with no comparative baseline...' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=603067#post603067)"-. Immediately soundcheck claimed that Phil was 'trying to hijack the thread, being destructive, and spreading false statements' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=603287#post603287). If the only comments soundcheck was receptive to were praise for the mods, he should have said so at the beginning. For that matter, show me where this thread was "hijacked," other than the brief appearance of the religious war of "a/b is scientific" vs "a/b is bogus", which people dropped reasonably quickly. Actually, in my opinion Phil's summary had an important omission. It seems to me that most of the people posting [insert standard disclaimer about self-selection bias] reported dramatic differences. Then flextreme posted a candid summary of what appears to be the most serious attempt at a/b reported yet, and could not detect a difference by normal statistical standards. And at least one person (my fellow Marylander, guidof, but maybe others, too), remarked that the differences come through after extended listening. What to make of all that, I don't honestly know. I'm continuing to try the mods, equipped with my own ageing ears, mid-fi system, acoustically-challenged room, and open mind. I'll be interested to see Phil's results, though however they come out I don't believe it will change my perception of the sound quality any more than MCR's opinion that the differences are "absolutely staggering". Meanwhile, I'm still interested in an answer to 'my earlier question' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=602826#post602826) about how turning of replaygain adjustment on an external server streaming PCM affects the processor load or "noise" within the Touch. It's not an "attack" -- it's something I would like to understand.
