**It did with the CDP-101, because only one DAC was used and shared
between left and right channels. All (?) other players used two DACs
(one for each channel) and the delay was not required. For the record, I
just checked the schematic of the 701. The 701 used two DACs. One for
each channel. It does not use a delay on one OP amp. Both OP amp
feedback resistors are 15k, paralleled by a 75pF cap. This likely
contributes to the difference in sound quality noted by many listeners
(including me).


** More TW audiophool nonsense.

There is no audible difference and the 15k resistor business is an
obvious red herring.

Just do a tiny bit of math on those numbers.


**If there is no audible difference, why did Sony use different value
resistors in the 101 and the same values in the 701? I presume you are
suggesting that there is a measurable difference, but that difference is
inaudible?


** FFS TW, do the math on those values.

Find the -3dB frequencies and see how far above the audio band they are and that there is almost no difference in using 15k or 16k - the caps are only 5% types !!

PLUS the fact that it is having NO effect on the 11uS offset.

I reckon it's a bloody typo in the parts list.
