[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 12957, member: 122"] Hmmm, I put that question on the same level as the ubiquitous "Are we alone in the galaxy" ;D ;D The point I tried to make is that you cannot read everything into the measurements (did I say that out loud?!). Imagine a DAC with a brickwall filter and A-Weighted SNR measurements of 120dB. I believe it sounds worse than something with a smoother rolloff not weighted reading 110dB. I can explain the reason for that, same as how we explain why two transports can sound different on the same DAC. What I cannot explain is why cables make a difference. My first inclination is to purely dismiss it as snake oil, but who knows? ;D And hence, the search continues... [/QUOTE]
