How do you know this? SoftwireEngineer;132111 Wrote: > but the clock locked into the incoming stream will be swinging (ie. > jitter). Like I said, whatever happens after the SPDIF is another matter and entirely dependant on the design of the DAC in use. The tests show to me that SPDIF over a cheap optical cable provides good enough timing to get error free PCM onto my computer's PCI bus. If I were to stick a FIFO on the output of the SPDIF receiver, and use my own clock to feed the DAC from the FIFO, it ought to at least be free from SPDIF jitter (but not buffer underruns or overflows). Would this not remove any continuously audible distortion from the analogue audio that may be caused by the transport (at least until the first underrun/overflow)? The DAC1, according to it's website, has an Ultralock in it to sort this out, sounds magic. I wonder how it works? -- ohios ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ohios's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6807 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
