Apparently you do as you were telling everybody jitter was not audible, Even running around from thread to thread with a foolish test. Now your telling everybody the total opposite and the ST sound "substantially" better and "apparently" jitter is very audible?

ruin your STX if you want to, your choice
ask more ST owners for impressions against the STX, so you'll have more feedback than just mine...but they're prolly too busy having eargasms to bother coming here
it's like AVS, they call it "the place to become unhappy"

The best thing is to test on your own. I want this. So I need to sell it.

That doesn't tell us anything. I'm not even convinced the ST is in any way better than the STX. I'll reserve that judgment for when I hear it myself. Give specific differences in sound between the two, don't just say it's "better". With slight inflections in sound at this level, one man's better could be another man's worse.

Well you have to remember that Lee also told the forum that ST drivers made his STX sound better also.

For those opamps swappers that are planning on buying the ST and the H6 DAC board in the future, you will have many more opamps to play with as the full ST Deluxe has 12 opamps. 4 opamps for single end buffer and 8 for I/V.
The Center and subwoofer share a SE buffer opamp but they have seperate I/V opamps. If you can see the labels above. This allows you to use different opamps for your center and subwoofer.
For instance, you could use a OPA2107 for the center and a OPA2227 for bass response on the subwoofer. These are just examples of units but you can see the posibilities. This setup allows you to dial in your center and subwoofer the way you want.

I guess. I knew it'd be a waste of time replying to him. The funny thing is I was just offering sincere advice, but he misunderstood and got defensive.
