Agreed - the datasheet for the sony cxd2500 in my transport [very common chip a few years ago] includes: "Wide-frame jitter margin built-in 32K RAM." This is needed to buffer the datastream from variations in rate of reading the disc and allow a cheap motor + servo to manage its speed. -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22301 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
