@ Almarg, It is so nice to talk to a engineer, I love it, you and my friend Edorr are awsome!, both of you gentlemen have done me well here with digital, I have spoken to steven I thought in the forums, He always signed off with Audioengr and EmPirical Audio as you said, I give him a chime and see what he may say, thankyou for the two wonderful well said post here!
@ Audioengr, Steve Nugent, Hi, If you are out there, I need some help with digital, thankyou.
Audiolabyrinth,

I'm glad I was able to help out. From reading all your posts, I know how much it means to you. After all, what in life could possibly be more important than having a good sounding CD player? Maybe Tara cables and a working kidney. But that's as far as I'll go.
Audiolabyrinth, you're welcome, and thanks for the nice words. Good luck in your quest!

Regards,

Audiolabrynth will certainly never need it, but for sake of argument, he'd insist the Docs power the Dialysis machine with his Tara Cobalt :)
