Noise, yeah Stereophile is pretty familiar with noise since noise is about all one gets when it comes to their coverage of digital audio. In spite of Mr. Atkinson's belief that Stereophile does a super job in their coverage of digital audio I've yet to see even one review of a high resolution download from any of the various vendors (Linn, HDTT, HDTracks, etc.). And now they are busy touting the superiority of 176.4kHz and 192kHz over 88.2kHz and 96kHz! As I said, pure, unfiltered noise. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88364 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
