Hm, I think you have an incorrect vision of the subject if you feel that “l...osses incurred there are far less than the differences in quality between various recordings”. Let me to explain: the losses that the buffers introduce are not the losses per say but “something” that reduces the differences in quality between various recordings. They introduce a certain common denominator that minimizes the differences between recordings, along with the differences between the dynamic assent, tonal contrast and sonic transient. They act like a global umbrella over the entire system that severely subdue the system's capacity. There is something unwise to use them if we know that what they do is so devastating. It is nothing to do with me being a perfectionist or anything like this. All that I would like to have is a no-gain buffer with no sonic effect. Would it be too much to ask without being called an utopist?
