Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Re: Stuff Happens

As discussed in the Manufacturer's Comments accompanying the Zanden review, Atkinson's measurements were skewed by a wiring fault in a polarity switch of the review sample that induced problems in the analog filter. The listening test portion of the review went smoothly, as during audition the polarity switch was put in the opposing (benign) position. I don't know which is worse: Zanden's quality control, Stereophile's confusion, or the possibility that some unwitting customer might spend $40K and never uncover the problem. Have you noticed how much better a magazine The Absolute Sound has become in the last year?
