Worth trying but in Guillaume's case it made the Linn Akurate sound brighter.
It didn't make the Linn Akurate sound bright, it made it sound more like the Totaldac. Like I said it was difficult to differentiate between the two when toggling rapidly between the two (both were setup to play the same music).
Given the trouble that Vincent has gone through to remove noise from the Totaldac I find it difficult to believe that the Akurate with noise added sounds more like the Totaldac. Remember the Totaldac is one of the best sources I have heard bar the Melco N1Z.
