Several people have been over this issue many times already. Most transports are bit-perfect, but they certainly do not produce identical sound. Unfortunately the old S/PDIF format is not a proper all-digital format as it also transfers embedded timing information. I know, it is a sad, sad state of affairs. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22936 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
