No, not if a word clock is used. The effect of the word clock is to change the s/pdif interface from sending "timing plus data" to just sending data. Timing then becomes the responsibility of the receiving unit, and jitter performance is determined only by the DAC unit's internal clock. It also means that as long as all the bits make it across correctly, you don't have to worry about the quality of your cabling. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26202 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
