You must be mistaking me for someone else. Read my posts - I try very hard NOT to make personal attacks on fellow posters but I am certainly guilty of making sarcastic comments about audiophiles IN GENERAL and the members of the audiophile press, whom I've now stopped calling clowns, out of respect for real clowns. But again I have to ask you - why on earth would any self respecting audiophile even look at, let alone post, on this forum? Everything I've read in the audiophile press for the past several years runs counter to the "typical" Squeezebox system many of us enjoy, i.e. a remotely located computer running LMS, often with one or more external hard drives, and streaming ALL our music, i.e. not just background music, to the lowly plastic Touch, which is often connected to a very nice outboard DAC. Oh and many of us even use digital room correction (I don't...yet). No 32bit/192kHz files, no Amarra software, no USB DAC and, if can you believe it, no DSD. The horror!! Five minutes listening my Squeezebox centered stereo and the average audiophile's golden ears would be a bloody mess. So please instead of attacking us you should be pitying us poor misguided fools. No DSD, really how could any audiophile even think to take anything on this forum seriously.
