There have by now been many comments on the Stereophile October review which is out in US. It may not have hit UK (or other) newsagents but is available via a Zinio subscription (which was very cheap when I got it)
The measurement review is on the whole positive especially bearing in mind price, but firmly nails any suggestion that the touch via analogue outs is within a million miles of the transporter. Figure 2 shows a resolution of only 17 bits whereas the transporter's was 20 bit (if I remember rightly). There is also a comment about the sinewave being nicely formed but noisy. I am not really technically literate and can only understand so much from it, but wondered if other more technically literate folk could comment as to what conclusions can be drawn In particular I don't know what conclusion if any can be drawn about the quality of the digital out. It would be very useful to know whether the noise shown in the sinewaves has any impact on the spdif output and if so where it comes from. In any event I think those measurements might form the framework for a coherent discussion of the effect of various mods/tweaks. -- adamdea ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamdea's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37603 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82050 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
