Indeed - I was really disappointed. Hi-Fi news is the only hi-fi mag I still subscribe to, mainly because they have been pretty good to highlight upsamplings and other sheenigans in their music reviews, but I don't think I'll renew. In the USB cable test, they do publish eye diagrams, but the rankings are purely subjective. And while they state that the reviewers were able to tell the differences between the cables under blind conditions to a statistically significant degree, they don't properly divulge their test setup, or actual blind listening statistics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Julf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98828
