Of course! It is just that sound quality will no longer the sole determiner of one's preferences in audio. Audio in its present form seems to suffer from an immature one track mind. Sound quality is thought of by most as being the only reason to make choices or changes, and that things like room acoustics and room sound quality are irrelevant. > > I know that almost no product in isolation provides an audible upgrade > speakers are the most obvious exception they still all have a signature > to them, but if the tech is perfected whole the way (preferably from the > recording studio and onwards ) you get better quality . In fact the path from the point where to the recording is made to where it is heard is thought to be the most important, while in fact many of the points in that path as a practical matter can't be significantly improved further (amplifiers, music players, etc) are where most of the attempts to upgrade sound are being made. This includes CD and DVD players, power amp upgrades, and use of separates where lower cost players and lower powered amps and AVRs more than suffice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105413 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
