I'm a believer in that the way to get the best sound is to have as little as possible between me and the original performance.

The ability to perceive differences in SD greatly depends on a system's ability to reproduce those differences.
For example, it would be of dubious value to tube roll if you sound source was a $10 MP3 player and your sound system was a set of $1.29 ear buds.

HAWKS WIN!!!

I agree less is more (I've got the parts for a Lightspeed attenuator) but in this case it seems Jplay is just an inconvience rather than an improvement.

My dad has an NVA passive preamp, we took it apart the other day and it is truly shocking how little is in it. It sounds really good though!

I like how he's spent 10 times more money on the audio than the TV and TV stand..
