It will be immune to the jitter effects from the disk if the data is buffered in a memory at high-speed compared to the native read rate. Then you only have to worry about jitter from power supply, power delivery, transmission-line effects, ground-bounce, switching thresholds and slow edge-rates. There is still a lot that can add jitter, even with a memory-driven system. It's just a matter of time before someone sends me a SB and I mod it. I would like to do an I2S interface on one, as well as the other power and clock mods. steve N. -- audioengr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ audioengr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8041 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28621 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
