i will write something thorough once i do some blind tests and get some outside input. right at first, with no warm-up or break-in, i didn't notice much difference from my pioneer cdp's output. i *may* have heard a slight change in clarity, but it could possibly have been my imagination. i still haven't been able to do blind tests. now, i have let it play for a good 24h, and i've quickly listened to the difference of my SB3, CDPlayer, and the Paradisea. after warming up, the Paradisea gives a stronger sound than the SB3 and CDP. the voices sound slightly more present and natural and less tinny and like they're behind a curtain. the stereo is a little wider, giving space between individual sounds. i haven't tested with flac in a silent room with the same cables yet, but i plan to later this week, blind, with the help of a friend. i'll also recieve an audioquest vdm-5 spdif soon to compare with the bluejeans cable. -- gobikey _______________________________ krell kav-400xi integrated amp vienna acoustics 'beethoven' speakers audioquest diamondback interconnects diy acoustic room treatment flac with accuraterip _______________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gobikey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3804 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17948 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
