Are you saying the same cable and DAC will induce a different types of jitter in different transports? Put another way, suppose someone measures the jitter spectrum at the S/PDIF output of a CD player and an SB, and finds them to be the same. Are you saying those two devices connected with identical cables to identical DACs could sound different? -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25138 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
