I think he was asking whether your statement was based on people's opinions who have listened to the two comparatively, or whether it was just a subjective assertation based on the fact that it "should" sound better because of its pedigree. One must be careful to not attribute new goodies to always mean better sound. Even Mr. Goddard posted a while back that the 24/96 DACs don't make any audible difference in the performance of the Lexicon DC-1 as an upgrade.

I detected no animosity or challenge in his post, rather a cautious approach to the "truth", as it were.

That said, I'd like to know the "truth" (take that word with a grain of salt) myself about how different the DC1 and 2 sound from each other, especially in bypass mode -- out of curiousity if no other reason.

Has anyone compared these side by side and listened to them? I wonder if there is that much of a difference or if Lexicon just found a better way to make the PC board and stuff everything into one box, thus lowering the price. I suspect the latter, though this may also have affected the performance.
