Aaargh this is completely silly :D if tou cant hear an insulated single tone at -80dB'ish ( say -90 if your normal listening levels are completely deafening and wall ratling ) sitting in your listening position , how are you suposed to hear changes at -144 to -138 dB while music is playing with well understood masking effects .
Was it not some old test in the 80's where they mixed in a marching band in the least significant bits on some music track and absolutely no one could hear any difference . What we have here is the usual myth that everything matters and everything is audible. I have nothing against technical perfection , i'm all for it :) but why the dishonesty when marketing the thing thats just sad . Bit if your core byers expect every improvement to be audible in isolation you probably get this result . What about a more down to earth approach . If i assembly a hifi system where each component is much better than our capacity to discern any flaws the combined system must in the end be darn good -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
