Yes, you're right, my mistake.  But it must be inaudible or Slim
Devices must have compensated for it, because the only spurious noise
ever recorded in the Slim Devices hardware is a very low-level
8800-some-odd Hz tone in the right channel of the SB3.  This isn't
present in the Transporter.

These graphs are in the Stereophile measurements.  See
http://www.stereophile.com/digitalprocessors/906slim/index3.html for
the Squeezebox and
http://stereophile.com/mediaservers/207slim/index4.html for the
Transporter.
