the fact you are posting on a hi fi forum identifies you as a hi fi fetishist, it is just matter of degrees. take the passage below from the link http://www.heretical.com/miscella/zfetish.html "One more bit of evidence would be in order before I present my final interpretation. We all know how hi-fi fetishists defend their choice of components tenaciously. For example, writing in the hi-fi press a reviewer' may aggrandise and exalt a piece of audio equipment. He insinuates that his fetish is better' or best', assuming its superiority and implicitly demeaning any competing products. What is also evident here is a wish to be envied for the possession of an idealized object. One can even discern a sense of triumph (see the letters of Mr. Ted Meyer, HFN/RR April 1980). However, I have observed that when a fetishist discovers that someone else's equipment is superior, his reaction is akin to narcissistic injury. " and then see if those symptoms can be identified in the post below. the octavist post in 'what is the best top end player now ?' thread a touch with external dac can not be bettered. the touch already measures excellently add an external DAC to further nullify non existent digital bogeymen and really, it is as good as it gets. nothing can top it performance wise. nothing. maybe different features, gui, audiophile jewelry bling..but performance? cant be bettered. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SBGK's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52003 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96779
