Which part of the test are you talking about? If it's the part where they compared digital to analogue, then the test did not accomplish the goal you state, since the media played are different. Again, the only way to do something like that is to have the media be as identical as possible (for example, a digital recording of a record versus a record) and THEN compare. The test didn't do that. jeffmeh;347093 Wrote: > > It is not clear whether the comparison between digital and analog was > blind or not.

That's why a more interesting test would be digitally recorded vinyl versus vinyl. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53355 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
