Yes, that's what I'm saying, and I think it's true to within my (limited) understanding of this. Benchmark claims to be able to eliminate jitter via buffering and re-clocking, but it's not clear to me that this is possible and/or won't introduce other errors. Note that if that claim is true, all error-free (that is, decent) transports feeding a DAC 1 should be indentical, period. In any case, you should have less jitter at the input to the SB internal DAC than at the input to any external DAC. Of course that doesn't mean it will sound better, which is subjective and depends on lots of things besides jitter. -- 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
