Contrast this to Benchmark's claim (and published measurements) that the DAC1 (which uses ASRC) is immune to incoming jitter - to the extent that you can stick it on the end of a thousand feet of digital interconnect with no ill effects. There are precious few companies around whose literature I would be inclined to accept on good faith, but dCS and Benchmark are two of them. And yet they appear to have diametrically opposed views regarding ASRC. Which leaves me in a bit of a quandry. Anyone care to shed some light on this? -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 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
