By the way, from the same review:
"In FLAC, I found it virtually impossible to detect any
difference between the original CDs played on the MS750
and their stored FLAC versions."

John's a lot older than you are, Marc. I wouldn't trust his ears to pick up
everything that a person your age, whose ears are in good shape could.

This was in the body of the review, which was not written by John.
But thanks for the compliment that I can hear better than JA. A smart
person, however, would wait for the results of a hearing test before
making that assumption. Funny how science flies right out the window
whenever you employ the debating trade.


The Mac has a number of inherent quality problems, the IM, the jitter, and
the grounding problems. Not fitting for a high end product �costing on the
order of $6K, not even particularly good for a $160 DVD player or a PC with
a good audio interface.

This completely ignores the fact that McIntosh has been offering
upgrades to correct some of the initial problems. In fact, the unit
I'm using was originally an MS300 that was just sent back to McIntosh
and upgraded with the latest 750 hard drive and other features. So the
simple truth is that you have no data on how my particular model
measures. Again, science escapes you when you're pushed against the
wall.

LOL - claiming that Atkinson's sighted listening tests have anything at all
to do with science!

LOL!

So Marc, you're proud of being a guinea pig for the Japanese?

It's not my fault you didn't properly identify the unit they are testing out
on you, Marc.

I didn't know that Binghamton, New York was in Japan.

It's a current model that you would find at any McIntosh retailer in
January 2009. It's not my fault you would use year-old data on newly-
emerging technologies.

So you are unaware of McIntosh's current ownership and management?

Umm music servers are emerging technology?

I've only had one for a little less than a decade.

Try again, grasshopper!
