I just purchased a brand new SB3, and a colleague subjected the digital outputs to a quick jitter measurement using Audio Precision equipment. Results: SB3 digital coax out jitter: ~99ps SB3 digital optical out jitter: ~892ps
My colleague's own SB1 is supposed to have digital optical out jitter measured in the range of 1400ps. Thus, we believe that SB2/3 digital output is superior to SB1 based on lower jitter levels. My colleague also managed to improve his SB1 optical out sound "quality" by soldering an additional bypass cap directly across the power & ground pins of the Toslink optical module. He believed that the cap is specified as a requirement for the Toslink optical module design guide, but was not used by the SB1 design. -- scan80269 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ scan80269's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2739 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18116 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
