I get very suspicious about iPhone docks ( and how they actually works )when you say this , I can't get this effect at all with " normal " transports with my current DAC(s) and with my older systems the differences if any* have been slight and subtle . Can you play a DTS track trough this dock ? No weird resampling going on in the phone ? I wonder how the digital " pass trough " really works ? One must also remember that there is afaik no controlled tests I know about abx or similar where someone can hear a difference between reasonably functional transports into a suitable DAC , ie if here is no gross technical problem then all transports sound the same . *( during this time of my life I was under the influence of audiophilism , but with my old 90's hifi it could possibly be real with that technology ,there is slight possibility that it was not completely impossible . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97753 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
