I appreciate that everyone handled their discussion of DACs in a civil manner. So I'll try to not sound defensive. \:\)

I knew it would draw some doubts. I was deliberately pointing out that this was a while back, about 6 years ago when I think about it. I suspect they were pretty mature even then, but within my abilities to keep volume levels consistent (and any processing being done) they didn't sound the same to me.

Of course, I did just get diagnosed last week with Meniere's Disease and realize now that I have suffered from this for a long time so I'll take my lumps. \:\)
