Yes I did . I cut adhesive backed tile down and put in everywhere and ended up taking 70% of it back out ( syneristically , it sounded over damped with that much in it , or maybe I didn't care for the sonic signiture of the tile) . This was at a time where I was using the unit with the swenson mods as a cd player not a transport . I had 3.3 uf auricaps to the preamp .
PEaK sez:
"I think the 3950 used external DACS (Burr Brown) that could either take the upsampled datastream directly (PCM downsampling: OFF) or could be downsampled (from 192 KHz) to 48 KHz PCM. With the 3990, this downsampling option has dissapeared and the unit auto-magically decides to feed the internal DAC a stream of its choosing. "Does this mean it no longer uses asyncronous rate conversion ? This is the animal that Todd K. says "causes the problem" that I hear ?
Does the 3990 have better bass than the 3950 ?
