Hi Archimago, Are all USB ports on all PCs identical? Up to the invention of the REGEN I would have said yes. Now we have to assume that all internal hubs found in computers, keyboards, monitors can have an effect on the USB when connected to audio USB devices. So you need to ensure that your friends plug the REGEN into a motherboard USB port. Are all motherboard's USB ports the same? Probably not. So, it is not valid to have your friends pre-test on their own PCs because this can cause bias. If pre-testing is really required, they should be using the identical setup used in the test. regards Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103842 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
