1) not sure what these are 2) Worthless from an audio perspective. Good idea to plug into an APC SmartUPS or Liebert PSA UPS. 3) Worthless, not how bits work 4) Worthless, not how bits work 5) Worthless You seem to be introducing a ton of completely useless and worthless "tweaks" into a system that you do not understand. If these things could cause any effect to audio quality, your computer would not work. The only place you could see any improvement is in the DAC section. If you don't like the sound of the DAC you're using, get a different one. In all likelyhood, the difference is likely how hot the output of the DAC is compared to your CD player. Burn a 50% pink noise audio file to the CD and do a proper volume calibration between your SB+DAC and the CD player. I made some pink noise tracks and posted them here: http://ben.nerp.net/noise/ Get a SPL meter and make sure you get the same audio from both of your sources. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/CM140/ -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86419 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
