True and don't forget the mega-buck asynchronous USB, DSD capable, upsampling, tube DAC with a front panel made from a solid billet of aircraft grade aluminum without which you will be overwhelmed with jitter laden, stair stepped PCM garbage. Oh I almost forget the iMac computer/laptop filled with untagged aiff files (for that poor unfortunate music yet to be made available in glorious DSD) and untagged DSD files,which is of course connected to the DAC with a very expensive USB cable. Plus you will also need an iPad to run the basically unusable control app. Wombat wrote: > Only 2 things to this dsd thing. If there is a format prone to jitter it > must be dsd.

There you go again trying to bring facts, science and logic into a perfectly good audiophile discussion. When will you ever learn?
