I haven't got time for fools! Sorry.
Of course English is not my mother tongue, I apologize for that, but you get the essential. The problem is - as you said - the concept of "Better". But If you translate it to "different" there is nothing wrong in your friend statement, converting PCM to DSD is lossy and (could) change the sound quality, when the DAC revert back to PCM, again is lossy. I think is not a 'fool', but I'm with you and nobody could make me think is 'better'. That's all. ____________________________________________________________ SB+, Klimo Merlino + Kent Gold, Monitor Audio Studio 20 Gold SE+, Klimo reference and DIS Interconnect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcoc1712's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
