I hate to spoil the party (not sure for whom, however) but from dodsonaudio.com: "Input signal jitter is eliminated by first clocking the input signal into a storage memory, then re-clocking the stored input signal out of the memory using a master clock with an unprecedented +/-2 picoseconds of phase jitter. After re-clocking, balanced differential drivers send the low-to-no-jitter re-clocked signal to the 24-bit/96kHz DAC chips." http://www.dodsonaudio.com/UltimateAudio_DA218_Review.htm Maybe he uses a sample rate converter before the buffer that turns the jitter into an integral part of the datastream, but that would sort of defeat the purpose of the buffering. BTW, have you tried various low cost SPDIF sources with the Dodson to verify the effectiveness of the buffering?
