I have almost the same comment about the v1.01 and v1.02. With my USB DAC, the sound stage is significantly smaller in v1.01 and slightly better in v1.02. However, both newer version do not have the punch, the clarity and the sound stage of v1.0.

My colleague and I both think that there is a difference with my USB DAC. It sounds better if it is limited to 16bit when 16bit file is played. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ fourwed's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=60662 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
