It might be interesting to know if any measurable difference can be found jitterwise on either the analog or digital outputs when the Squeezebox is isolated (as much as possible) from physical vibration... Some hi-fi manufacturers swear that "floating" their boards has a noticable positive imapact (NAIM for one)... and god knows most audiophiles have at least played with spikes/cups/rubber feet/inner tubes... not to mention =much more= esotic (read: expensive) vibration damping rigs under their transports/amplifiers/PSU's/etc. I've never seen any hard numbers for these "improvements"... although I =have= heard the differenece these isolators can create.
Here's an (basic) idea for a possible series of tests. Measure jitter while the device is idle; while its playing (no ambient sound - ext. amplifier off); playing (full rockin'/concert level sound). Then the same series of tests with some sort of vibration isolation in place. Anyone else interested? y. -- Yannzola _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
