OK, I had a chance to check on this a little more, and there apparently _is_ an effect where the jitter spectrum can have a peak correlated to the analogue signal frequency. Apparently this happens mostly when the jitter is due to bandwidth limitations in the transmission line, and will be in addition to many other non-harmonic frequencies which are correlated with such things as the 44.1 kHz digital frequency etc.
I guess this is due to the fact that, for example, a 1 kHz pure sine wave encodes into a digital sequence which itself has some periodicity at 1 kHz. I couldn't tell how important that is for music, but everything I read seemed to agree that the worst (for audio) type of jitter are the components which are not harmonically related to the signal. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24670 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
