However when I first had it I did some experiments, making some
digital copies via S/PDIF from another transport (Meridian 263). When
I listen I can't tell the difference[1]. When I load the results onto
my computer and do a sample-for-sample comparison, they come out
identical.

That's interesting - because my copies are not identical, although I'm
not sure how to do a bit for bit comparison. The amount of space used on
the disk, and track sizes differ very slightly.

For my experiments I just ripped the tracks from the original and copy to
my HD, then wrote a program that just ran through both files doing a byte
by byte comparison. They came out the same. IIRC I also used a 'diff' tool
that does much the same that came with my C/C++ compiler.

Slainte,

Jim
