About switching to a new digital coax - I'd be very skeptical that that will make the sound less bright... about all it can do is change the jitter spectrum, which can have unpredictable effects if any, but it shouldn't do anything so simple as damp HF.

My CDs are mostly scratched to some extent, and my CD drives (I have two; one is a Lite-On) are not particularly high quality. Sometimes EAC reports a suspicious position, and often the checkbit doesn't match the internet (I'd say on around 1/3 of tracks on a typical disk). Also the last track never matches, which I think has something to do with an incorrect read offset setting in EAC. That said, almost none of those glitches make an audible difference, so I don't really care. The fact that most of the time the checkbit matches tells me there's nothing seriously wrong, since even one bit incorrect will mess that up. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24613 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
