Thanks Phil. Good explanation and I agree that clock drift, etc. can (and does) result in measurable difference. It was the unequivocal statement of AUDIBLE differences that Marco stated that seemed too strong based on the evidence. Thanks for clarifying. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71321 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
