Two threads on this over at the squeezebox Audiofile forums With titles CD red book de-emphasis? and Pre-emphasis Part of the Redbook Spec, but derived from RIAA equalization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Think of it as Dolby (Noise reduction) for Vinyl Master was pre-emphasized prior to transcription to vinyl Playback would be de-emphasized (RIAA EQ curve) - thus allowing you to overcome some limitations of the medium Ripping to FLAC with EAC will store the pre-emphasis flag in the CUE file. The above threads discuss this, and suggest the EQ is best handled in the analogue domain. It can be done in the digital domain, but it is lossy function - leading to information loss if re-truncated back to 16 bits. It appears iTunes and sox can handle this - as described here in the steve Hoffman Forums - thread Question about "pre-emphasis" for Abbey Road (Black Triangle) I'd post links - bit they come back as **Internal Linking (Threads)

Someone wasn't paying attention.

It is important to consult your chums on head case immediately to avoid a rare but potentially serious condition if you experience listening sessions lasting longer than 4 hours. Side effects may include, dry mouth, lightened wallet, increased postings.

Wasn't Al touting a mini MOA in the same time frame?, or did I misunderstand things, and the mini MOA was going to be an immediate pre-CJ'09 event? In any event I assume HD 800's will be involved, somehow, we can but hope?

^^^ I think the point is, that if you have a USB DAC that uses a correctly implemented asynchronous mode (the USB Audio standard uses isochronous transfer in one of three modes: synchronous, adaptive, or asynchronous) Then you have removed the timing part of the equation - or made it irrelevant. That just leaves the data part, which for a digital cable can be either working, or broken (fail!), there is no better or worse to it. But since when has use of a decent protocol to overcome the limitations of physical medium stopped people from selling unnecessary solutions to people with more money than sense. Denon USA | AK-DL1
