This entire thread is questioning the validity of that assumption. Read the title of the thread again: "How much can transport mechanism affect SQ?" If the bits get transmitted to the DAC correctly regardless of the digital transport mechanism, all digital transports in the world would sound exactly the same. That, however, is not the case (or, we're here arguing whether that's the case). Different transport mechanisms seem to affect the fidelity of the bits that are getting transferred into the DAC.

All right, WHAT is it due to then? -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82520 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
