Hi Ken,

Good point. This is really what I wanted to check opinions on. Reading the info on the Acousense website, I think their GISO is primarily about reducing noise transferred from the end of a cable to a device - i.e. it should deliver benefit wherever it is able to remove noise entering a component.

So my humble thinking is that the GISO may do just this on the input to the ID41 and the subsequent benefits of the reduced noise will be apparent, whether the output from the 808v5 is analogue or digital. Once the noise is in the 808v5, it's in and on it's way to the speakers in one form or another.

Then again, I may have the wrong end of the stick ...

Cheers
Dave
