In my downtime I decided to do a in-depth comparison between the A/D converters I have at hand. With the amount of “Night & Day” reviews you read about it’s easy to question if converters are drastically different from box to box, It got me questioning at-least. The technical converter specs over the last 10years or more out perform most sound sources, processing, & environments. I have done my share surgically analyzing the THD+N, frequency response, Jitter, & so on, But that never answered the question if one can audibly hear the difference? Time for a real-world test I say.
