You thought right. They do all have an Ethernet port. (New minis lack a Firewire port.)

There are HDMI splitter devices which may help you. For example: http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ahdmi%20splitter http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ahdmi%20audio%20video%20splitter

Have you ensured 'Wake for network access' is enabled in Energy Saver panel of System Preferences on the Mac?

My guess is that there will be improvements to dialogs so users are less likely to mistakenly instruct iTunes to delete files.

Sorry for wasting more of your time. Losing "20-30 hours of writing" suggested you weren't using the workaround.

I don't see an optical input on the TX-8020. Are you sure you've posted a link to the correct receiver?

You could prepare your message in any text editor then paste or drag into the forum editor when ready.

The votes, although far too few to be significant, are even more interesting if we ignore the two for Z which were based on the accidental inclusion of a 0.4 seconds long test tone at the beginning of file Z of the HK set.

Thanks

I read and believe I understood the info about the tones, etc. None of which changes the fact that the posted "originals", which some people found to sound grossly different, are identical (that's zero difference, not an 80 dB difference) apart from an offset of 207 samples. You are obviously confused and still failing to comprehend that the -80 dB difference is not between the audio contained in the two "original" files which were posted.

You are the one demonstrating impaired comprehension and reasoning, as clearly evidenced by your confusion over which of Dennis's tests revealed a 80 dB difference.
