Thanks that put even more insigths to it . Where to start , if you for religious reasons resorts to filters that re-introduce aliasing artifacts in the audio ( just like a very cheap soundcard ) this compromise performance for 16/44.1 and then also sell the beliefs that 24/192 is necessary :rolleyes: I do smell some cargo cult engineering here here as these probably well designed but novel no global feedback designs do exhibits more distortion and varying modulated I say output impedance which the designer actually deludes in thinking its a feature ! Zero global feedback designs typically always sounds better for reasons unexplained and he also believes that ABX and DBT does not work :rolleys: yes they do they cancel you bias for zero feedback designs and novel filter topology ..... Like the other review exposed I migth just use my iPad Air , the latest generation tablets and phones are that good , for my music on the go needs . My interest in this products is somewhat diminished , given the chance in a store or something I would still listen to it . But I would not mail order it in blind faith and hope it will be good . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
