Yes, but it seems that's not what Manisandher is saying in the above quote.

Where Romy is comparing files from commercially marketed music CDs to raw 16/44 files, I believe Manisandher is implying the comparison between any file played back from a CD player, to that same file, once ripped and played back from a hard drive.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant in my original post. I've not really made a detailed comparison between the three firewire interfaces that I own, but have experienced enough 'strange goings on' for me to be pretty convinced that the interface is playing a major part in the overall sound.

I would like to know the impressions on the AF1 that Mani is using, I assume that improved things vs the Lynx through AES

I don't actually have the Lynx AES card to make the comparison (but I don't really like the idea of the D-sub to XLR cable).

Mani.
