Cheers :D Another thought, when I purchased my Chord sig coax cable, I was informed that it was designed in such a way as to trick the signal that it was going down a 75ohm cable even though it has rca connections. This statement is clear, now that I understand why everything should be 75ohms, in the signals path. How it gets tricked is probably another story..... -- Deaf Cat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deaf Cat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=515 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34406 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
