I was participating in audio newsgroups as far back as the early to mid 1990s. I got started in the Audio Asylum in December 2000.> everything has a sonic signature. You should know that.
Well, I understand what you're implying, but some digital components do not have sonic signatures to my ears. The word "sonic" has to do with sound and hearing. As I stated in my post above, I cannot hear any difference between my 24/96 digital copies of a vinyl records and the records themselves. In that sense, my Masterlink digital recorder does not present any kind of sonic signature to my ears. Furthermore, when I play a 24/96 copy of a vinyl record from the hard drive into my Eximus DP1 DAC, it also sounds the same as the vinyl record to me. However, when I play the same 24/96 digital recording with the Oppo BDP-105, it sounds noticeably different. I didn't expect it to sound different and I'm disappointed.
Now, I have to decide whether I'm willing to live with the difference or whether I will return the Oppo for a refund. I'll make that decision in a couple of weeks after I complete a break-in period.

I've never returned a component because I didn't like the way it sounded, but there's always a first time. Oppo instituted the return policy for a reason and I might have to take advantage of it. I'll know more later.
