VooDoo: Is the upsampling always on, or can it be turned off?

Jon: I am pro war with Iraq AND N Korea, but at the appropriate time, anti Bush (I am a McCain fan all the way) and anti France AFTER hearing the comments they made to other European nations petitioning to join the EU...not to get into politics...

The French being anti-war has nothing to do with it. It's because they're still so damned ashamed the British and Americans saved their asses and their country in WWII, they feel they have to do everything contrary to the policies of the US.

I don't like McCain because his ultra anti mixed martial arts policy is very hypocritical being that he has boxing interests. He says he's based this on a few minutes of brutal footage he's seen of no hold barred fighting such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship. But really, when it comes to the aspects of combat and violence, how different is boxing from mixed martial arts? Just because he doesn't like something he doesn't have to lobby governors outside the state of Arizona not to sanction NHB events.

Anyone want my Hermes?

Mdomnick,

Its always on... (no external switch) there may
be a way to turn it off but i have never wanted to...
One real nice thing it has also is a toslink and a spdif with a switch so you can have two different sources fed into it and switch between. For instance you could feed a
CD changer into one for convience and a "hi-end" CD for
"critical" listening... I am "extremely" happy with it
I highly recommend...

Good luck

I've heard the Bel Canto, the Chord and Musical Fidelity dac side-by-side at a dealer. The Musical Fidelity A3 24 is the one that came home with me, FWIW. Different strokes for different folks, of course. The MF dac only shines with a great transport, however, not just any cd player will do....

"You ever here of Plato? Socrates? ...MORONS!"

Wow, that's interesting that you preferred the MF over the Bel Canto and Chord. Maybe it's because I just haven't heard enough about it. I've only had experience with the Bel Canto DAC 1.1 and my current Kora Hermes which I love.
