Just to nitpick a bit, the bandwidth in the analog domain is determined by the required rise time of the pulses, not by the number of pulses per unit time. As you go to very fast rise times, the equivalent bandwidth becomes much larger than the bits per second of the serial data stream. -- andy_c ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andy_c's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3128 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26332 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
