Sure they are smaller. However, objectivitist usually claim differences down in the -130dB level cannot possibly be heard. Seems what can and cannot be heard has to be revised then? I guess the story is the same as always: It can all be measured, and we just realised that we need to measure better, but we are and were always right... Personally I'm very sceptical such minute noise differences can be heard. Especially if the noise is uncorrelated to the signal. Minute differences in jitter, on the other hand, I don't have a handle on. I do suspect, however, that the truth of jitter performance has much more to do with real life performance (i.e jitter in a live system), than with 30 or 60 pS jitter on the testbench. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28080 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
