18Khz doesn't really work for a 24/96 ADC... Dave, It will change it consistently. The fact is that if it got on to the CD in the first place I can record it with my ADC. Period. To argue otherwise just doesn't make sense. What aberration in my ADC can prevent it from recording some nuance in the source material that is Nyquist limited. We are talking about stuff already limited to 16/44.1 and filtered accordingly. The horse has already bolted...and Shannon was riding it. I kind of feel you don't want to open Pandora's box. Would it really hurt that much to discover that expensive spdif cables - just to pick some low hanging fruit - really make no difference? I'm not on a religous crusade here. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
