Ah - thanks for letting us in on the secret of using 2 birds - explains why my tests with a blind rubber goose only resulted in loads of hiss.

Have to convince Pearse that it is way better than the PPang card and especially suited to Meitners.
Maybe John will purchase one to bundle with his Ciúnas abd we will all help him test it(double blind if necessary)

maybe get a few for field testing!!!


been reading through other forums
whats the obsession with blind testing, measurements and exercising the right of free speech
very annoying to read good topics and ruined by nonsense

Crazy stuff, it took me awhile to cop on it is the same handful every time. You could write the script. Mention a product in two separate posts and you are asked to confirm you have no connection with the manufacturer. The uk forums are particular strange. Hifi dealers arguing the toss on usb cables and dacs with innocent posters asking whether they should try a usb cable.
A self appointed group fighting an imaginary fight against FOO. Laughable but you have to stand back from it as it just goes round and round and gets very heated over something trivial. The rest of the forum generally tends to be normal and just carries on around the mayhem that ensues. The poor op's who ask the question normally run for the hills to escape the wisdom.

For this the Check-book needs new pages!
There is no mercy for audiophiles. We are heading to extinction!

I'm very curious for the first impressions, since the price difference with PPA card is 5:1.
