Revel Studio vs. JM Lab Micro BE

Oversampling vs upsampling
Close. What happens when you sum the outputs of two devices is that the signals they have in common (the real data or music) is summed (x2) while the random signals (noise) is cancelled. This is because the real signals occur at the same time in t... 
Digital Inputs on McCormack Preamps?
BECAUSE THEY ARE ANALOG PREAMPS!Sorry for shouting but they would your expect any digital connections on purely analog devices?

What is a Digital to Analogue Converter
What is your digital source component? 
Sony SCD XA9000ES vs SCD-1 or XA-777ES
For setup, use a separate test disc so you can control the test signals. 
Sony SCD XA9000ES vs SCD-1 or XA-777ES
The XA9000ES plays CD-Rs just fine. 
Sony SCD XA9000ES vs SCD-1 or XA-777ES
Dunno but I can find out this weekend.
