Every sane source that I know of says that this will be inaudible. I don't notice anything peculiar when I listen on phones (except, of course, for the unusually clear and beautiful sound. .I have tried moving my speakers 1/3 " but it doesn't make them sound like I was playing a CD when I was really playing an LP :-). I really, really do think you can forget that particular difference. Unfortunately we can't do anything about the D to A converters used. There is hardly anyway to even measure them without spending big bucks. Worry about that one, it's more legitimate. Dick Grantges hound!rfg
