Well, since my pet theory is that audible differences come from the interaction of components (in the hifi system and elsewhere), I won't argue against you. Measured performance, stand-alone on the bench, is long since "good enough" it seems. Unfortunately "interaction" also includes the flawed SPDIF connection. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
