So you're telling me that in your view, the need for science and technology are eliminated by this odd kind of popularity contest? I guess you are unaware of the millions of copies of utterly useless and even harmful products (based on legal actions by various governments), have been sold in the recent past. It has long been known among many that overestimating the gullibility of the public has led to remarkably few financial failures. > > JS and Alex have also found improvements to the original design, which I > suppose you would call fraudulent consumerist marketing practice rather > than two enthusiasts developing their product. No, at best it is symptomatic of a product that rushed to market without enough development. One of the so-called improvements that I am aware of involved "Improved bass". The idea that subtle changes in the digital domain by a device that does not open the data packets could affect spectral balance is utterly incredible to anybody who understands how digital audio works. Like I said , it is great work if you can get it but my knowledge of technology and my personal ethics puts a damper on that sort of thing for me. YMMV. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103684 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
