Yes, I meant a run of the mill receiver which you might've had laying around and not the Theta. If you get a chance, perhaps you can post the measurements. I'd love to see them.
Poor Clifton. Replying to statements that weren't made. All caught up in his post professorial retirement, reduced to correcting people's spelling and frustrated by his inability to grasp anything of a technical nature.

" Lying around," Reverend, not "laying around," unless that receiver is depositing future receivers, in their little reciever eggs, about the room. This, I suspect, would make it anything but "run of the mill." "Reduced" to correcting the public ignorance of others?? Why, 'tis a noble calling, Reverend, a noble calling indeed. And there is so much fertile ground, around your Parish, just begging for the seed of knowledge to be planted.

In this use of the word, "parish" is not a proper noun and does not call for capitalization.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parish

Grammar police rarely do little or nothing to clarify their own, or other people's message.

It's a feint, or distraction technique, mostly.

Clifton, I'd say you should go after his content, not his syntax.

Neither does "reverend," Buddha, unless you make it a proper noun by capitalizing it in context -- I am sure the good Reverend has a proper Parish, but you probably have less faith than I do.

The content speaks for itself, but only when clothed with the Reverend's unique style.

Oh, you get to Choose context!

Cool Rule!

Sorry, Good Buddy. My Bad.

I guess with Us being able to contextualize our capitalization without fear of running Afoul of the Rules of Grammar, we can Get The Party Started!

Now, why Can't Reverend Chu use syntax in the same way you use "Proper Nounage?"

To do what you are asking, I would have to repeat what I did and protograph the analyzer CRT display and post it (and even then the details might not reproduce very well); I described the results for you.

Feeding a digital signal into a communications receiver would make no sense at all; the input circuitry would distort it and it is not capable of processing that type of signal, and besides that you would have a bad impedance mismatch. It would not yield any meaningful result. It would be as meaningless as feeding the digital signal into a power amp input jack.

The Theta, and any other well-designed D/A converter, provides a 75 ohm load to the digital signal coming in. This is the only load that is relevant for this situation.
The problems arise when the connectors are not 75 ohms, or the cable is not 75 ohms, or the output circuit of the transport does not put out a clean signal under load (especially when subjected to the above mismatches).

You do not seem to be familiar with data transmission protocols, or the technical aspects of RF transmission lines (which is exactly what a digital cable is in the case we are discussing), other wise you would not suggest feeding a digital signal into a "receiver".

Perhaps I was unclear. I was talking about something like a Denon or Sony receiver where the digital outs from the player would go to.

I'm sitting here going on 6 weeks with my new Transporter. It just keeps getting better OR I keep hearing more (so there to the subs and obs:-)

Alot of people like the TP more than the Lavry10 or the BenchmarkDac1.
I've heard it compare favorably to the Ayre.
I can see a day very close that I will never bother putting a CD in. Just hit my macbook interface and browse my 1,000+ CD's.

SlimDevices is a no BS co.
Anyway I'm having too much fun to disagree with anyone , if you guys are ever around come for a listen.
