Hey! Also, weren't people complaining about that grunge decay noise in the XP60/80 and JV2080. It's funny how someone mentioned that the XP60 and JV2080 had better (18 bit) D/A convertors and that's why you could hear the distortion all of a sudden.

I hope that we don't experience this with the XVs. Don't forget that with analog circutry, you never get to take advantage of all 24 bits. The noise from the outlet contributes to nearly 1 db of noise on the high end and 2 db of noise on the bottom end, chopping off nearly four bits which leaves you with a 21 bit equivalent sound.
