i don't normally read stereophile, but ...

in the stereophile review of the sony scd-xa777es, jan 2002 edition, page 129-130, figs 3, 4 and 5 clearly show that the noise level is at around -110dB around 10kHz.

yes - it rises sharply after that - to round -92dB at 20kHz in fig 4

which proves my point. these are all "within spec" as far as i am concerned, and at these levels the resolution capability of the dacs and analog circuitry are limiting factors.

what i do concur is that sony/philips marketing blurbs about frequency response to 50 kHz are clearly misleading - the signal is pretty junky above 20kHz. but that's fine, i'm not a bat.
