J. Gordon Holt's 'Seeing Red" in Stereophile's As We See It

J. Gordon Holt's recent article focuses primarily on the inexactitude of spindle holes and chassis cover screws and such. I would like to focus briefly on his paragraph concerning digital playback and the presumption of its perfectness.

Digital Bigots
I don't care whether you like digital sound or not. That's your business. But don't try and tell me you can hear all those little bits or samples or error corrections until it has been proven to me that those things are actually audible, and that the imperfections we hear are not

Apple TV for audio?

Hi all, just wondering if anyone here is using Apple TV to stream lossless audio to you stereo system? My main question is how does the analog outputs sound on the thing? I have an Emotiva RSP-2 preamp that has only analog inputs. Also wondering how the 720p video output might look on my 58 plasma? any input would be great! This would not be used to replace my cd player or Blue Ray, just to compliment them. I just want to make sure the analog outs aren't terribly noisy, or to shrill sounding. Thanks.

Denon SC-CX303 loudspeaker Measurements

The companion loudspeaker to <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/thefifthelement/the_fifth_element_57">Denon's RCD-CX1 SACD/CD receiver</A> is the SC-CX303 ($1200/pair). The SC-CX303 is a ported two-way with a 1" soft-dome tweeter and a 5" carbon-fiber&#150;cone woofer. Denon claims a sensitivity of 86dB and an impedance of 6 ohms. Instead of a formal frequency response, Denon instead gives an unreferenced figure for frequency extension that, at 35Hz&#150;60kHz, is neither helpful nor credible.
