One last comment, just to provide some balance to some misleading comments here. The issue we find with many CPUs is not so much the clock rate itself, but where in its performance range you run it. Under-clocking improves the sound quality in our experience/opinion, but as the new CPUs get faster than the older ones, we find we can also clock them faster too and still get great sound. We never stated, as has been suggested, that a clock speed of 1.5GHz is necessary for good sound. It just isn’t as simple as that. This is like any other area in high end audio. Examining specs only gets you so far and listening is needed in order to know what you prefer. Listening, is how we go about the final design choices, but everyone has different tastes so we are not claiming that the only way is our way. I am just trying to clarify what we do, and I do not mean to imply anything negative about anyone else’s product. if you like another product better than ours then you should buy it and we should try harder.
