Keaton was over last night listening to the TEAC. Sadly he knew of my PCM measurement results already and so was declaring how "natural", "airy", "substantial", "present", "unveiled", "punchy", "warm", "analog", "rich" the sound became when the digital filter was disabled. That was nothing compared to the raving about how amazing the various analogue FIR filters sounded when playing DSD. He swore that FIR1 sounded like "it was designed by cloth-eared engineers" versus FIR2 as "the filter that God inspired" with FIR3 and FIR4 somewhere in between. We'll see soon when I publish the DSD data... As usual, he ended the evening having consumed too much of my alcohol and left with his usual "Champagne wishes and caviar dreams..." upon leaving my humble abode with his lovely wife. However, we did discuss the possibility of him doing a "guest review" for me of the "obvious" differences between various bit-perfect software players - JPlay, foobar, JRiver on the PC. In Keaton's hearing I trust. We'll see what he comes up with! :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archimago's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2207 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98749 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
