You make a good point. Put another way, in math, adding "about 2" plus 2.00000001 does not give you 4.00000001. The correct answer is "about 4". In audio, there are so many "about 2s" in the chain that it always amuses me that some people can spend so much time polishing the tiny number to the right of the decimal but be perfectly accepting of so many "abouts". That's probably human nature -- it just feels good to think that -something- is within your control. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69882 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
