All I was suggesting is that the difference in DAC's could be a major part of the picture. His daughter could hear a difference and that is one major component that could help explain the difference. I never said directly that the SB2 was inherently superior (in fact going out of my way to give the listener in question the benefit of the doubt). I may have inferred that by referencing a hypothetical "$0.99 DAC" but in my case I think it was obvious that $0.99 DAC is simply code for generic $<50 CD player DAC. If this CD player were something of particularly high quality then I suspect the OP would have mentioned that. Personally I can't tell the difference between any of them. I think my SliMP3 playing MP3's sounds great. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
