Some off us left the cult in the meantime :D All these differences go away once you do proper tests like ABX . Any reasonably good transport is completely transparent to a human listener . And in most cases the output from the dac is electrically identical so there teally is no difference at all . Yes the most likly cause for these "differences" is sigthed listening test with some learned audiophile bias . With the small differences in question << 100dB down in the noise or nonexisting . All sigthed testing are just anectotes and contain no real information . If one subjectively experience very large differences something is ver wrong either one is heavily biased or the equipment is broken. What kind of dac are we talking about ? There are a lot of high end stuff that performs no better than a chinese dvd player for 50$ so price really has nothing to do with it . If th e equipment in question is audiophile enough it can be broken by design :/ nos dac anyone ? Btw is this tread dead now ? Due to natural causes ? Its complete off topic . Anyone actually designing a squeezebox/dac thingy may post i diy instead . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
