Just a comment about "having shown": Measurements taken at one or a couple of occasions, in a few different settings, do not actually prove performance in a number of different configurations (i.e with varying external influences). Also, a single figure for jitter doesn't really say very much about the jitter's influence on the sound. To make matters even more complicated, different receivers of the SPDIF datastream can be influenced differently by any present jitter. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26436 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
