In Reply to: You can hear distortion below the noise floor posted by hexenboden on June 15, 2006 at 19:51:13:
"But the main issue is not only what is audible but what really matters. Speakers and rooms really matter. But most good DACs and amps? I'd say not that much."
What is a good DAC or amp? Please define this as there appears to be much controversy about this very subject. I also think you should start a new thread for this subject as your statement appears to have little or nothing to do with this thread.
