So who is arguing that the physical nature of the bits is different? The way those bits are resolved is the sq difference between an Ipod & a good CDP. If what you listen to sounds no different I tend to think the recordings may not warrant better digital conversion, in which case you can "Don't worry...Be happy". Bits may be bits but what happened to the bits is definitely part of the equation. (My apologies to everyone talking about the ALO Rx for the off subject banter)
