Joe b,
I've had this unit less than 24 hours and have only been able to listen for an hour - and most of that time was spent scrolling through the "color combination" to determine what sounded the best. After "summitgnp" gave me the directions (THANKS!), I haven't had a chance to listen. Feel free to e-mail me and I'll give you the details (assoc. equipment,cables,music cuts, etc,). I'll need the weekend (at least) to evaluate it, though. For what it's worth, I was tied between three settings - before I was "enlightened" with the directions - 20 bit, 24 bit and HDCD. I do have a true 20-bit DAC but it doesn't have HDCD filtering - so go figure. Again, way to early to tell.
