TK,
I have a Prism dScope III and an AverTech here. The differences are the same you would see in 2 different amps or two different output tubes. Silver always seems to have a little more gain and less capacitance which can show a difference in a 10K square wave. Something I always test. But nothing like how it sounds. There is a large division in quality between the two which would not account for the small variation in testing.
But really, we always have to remember everything makes a difference.
For years I tested Computer Apps, why does Audirvana sound better than Roon. They are passing bit true to the same dac with the same file. That ended up being the fact that Audirvana uses 0.3% CPU usage and Roon was almost 30%. Plus Audirvana does not use the net at all during playback, were as Roon is phoning home looking at meta data and so forth. What we found was the mains had a slightly more HF noise when running with Roon.
It's always something, we just haven't found it in the copper vs silver debate.
Thanks,
Gordon
