Which part, exactly, is the load of absurd nonsense? Is it the part about how the company which built the SB might have an advantage when it comes to improving it? Especially given a budget of $2000, tons of time, a new architecture, sophisticated measuring tools, etc. etc.? Or is it the part where I said it's harder to believe that two transports connected to a DAC which is hyped for its jitter immunity would sound different then to believe that two analogue sources with very different internals would? I don't know what's inside the Benchmark - but it's certainly NOT implausible to say a DAC can be jitter rejecting or even immune. If you think it's hype, why don't you back that up with some facts rather than simply making rude assertions? Patrick Dixon Wrote: > > Depends what you call 'a few swapped parts'.

How much time have you spent listening to your SB+? Far more than that, I should hope. And if the mod is digital only then I _really_ don't see the point without some convincing demonstration that it actually sounds better when connected to a good DAC. ezkcdude Wrote: > > No, no, no. That is not true either. Can you comment on why? I would say the following is a proof of principle - simply record the entire audio stream you're interested in in a big buffer, and then clock it out using a local clock. Not very convenient, since you have to wait a long time before you hear anything, but absolutely zero sensitivity to the input's jitter. Lavry seems to be a clever version of that idea. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29450 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
