What I mean about using SACD as a transport is just that there's no reason why it wouldn't be just fine with a good, jitter-rejecting DAC like the Benchmark. I'm not saying it would be brilliant, or special, just that it would serve this purpose well. Also, I didn't say I haven't heard this setup--I have--only that I haven't bought one yet.As for the chip, no I didn't try it. Why? What if someone told you (just making up something dumb here) that you could turn on the oven in your kitchen by waving a stick around in the den? That you could make your bed by rattling your keys and winking three times, or making a funny symbol in the sand with your index finger? Would you try it? It's just that there's no possible--no conceivable--mechanism by which this thing can work. Maybe it's my scientific training, or maybe it's just my worldview, but--though I am in most respects very open minded, accepting of all sorts of human differences--I just don't believe in magic, and magic is precisely what it would take for this thing to work. Furthermore, I didn't want to give them any of my money. Maybe they would send me a free review sample? Well, maybe, but I'd feel very foolish asking for one, for the reasons listed above.
Be Well,
Jim Austin
