Year i really like this conclusion a 200$ dac is as sourcee jitter insensitive as it ever needs to be ,so the 2000$ DAC may be better and perform close to perfect , but it's not just a question of evil jitter . And what about those 30000$ DAC's you must have to be "a real audiophile" I think I Ralph and some others have been excommuned :) your level of audiophileness is directly proportional to how much cash you have used to buy your stereo . In reality there is no strong relation ship between price and performance above "cr*p" level ,the 30k DAC may be designed around vodoo and the 200$ real science . Archimago , I do have a theory about why the upsampling behaves so weird on your DAC , it's intentional otherwise no one would hear any difference when pressing that button :) and users would complain . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97950 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
