I think this is a little overly harsh. He did try a blind test, or says he did, and I think we have to take him at his word. I don't think he's a troll. omega, if you really think there's a difference and want to track it down, the best way is to test possible causes one at a time. The first thing to do is record the digital stream going to the DAC in the two cases, and make sure it's identical. If it's not it will be very surprising (it will mean something in the SB really is malfunctioning). That's very easy to do with any computer soundcard. Even if the digital stream is identical it's still possible for the analogue signal coming out of the DAC to be different due to jitter. To test that, audiodiffmaker is by far the most precise tool you can try - it's much better than recording the sound using a mic, or listening with unaided ears. So record the analogue out of the DAC (again, easily done with a computer sound card) and use audiodiffmaker to compare them. I did this for WAV versus FLAC in a total of about 20 minutes (most of which was spent searching for a loopback cable), including installing the software. This test might exaggerate the actual differences (because of noise), but it can't underestimate them. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36503 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
