People sometimes need to stop being know it all engineers and admit we really don't know everything and that sometimes something will make a difference (better/worse) and we really don't know why yet.
Throw your numbers around all you want... but if you haven't put your ear to it, you may just be blowing a lot of hot air. Sometimes a manufacturer cuts off his own feet when he tries to explain how he came up with what he did... he may have made something really special, but, because he's blown it on an explanation people don't listen. Sometimes the engineers are guessing at the explanations too.... doesn't mean it doesn't sound good/accurate.Acer Aspire 9500 laptop Pentium 1.73GHz w/ 2 gigs ram, Vista Premium 32 bit, WAV/CUE files on Hard Drives via firewire, XXHighEnd ver. 0.9U Player Q1 14, player priority nothing,thread priority real-time; Stello 100 USB-DAC nos
