This depends on the quality of the clock/oscillator being used, and whether it is more/less accurate than the clock/oscillator inside the TP. TP oscillator jitter is listed at 12ps, and there are some out there that are rated lower (I know dCS offers the Verona, which I believe is spec'd at 4ps). The ultimate would be an atomic oscillator...! And then there's the question as to whether you can actually hear the differences. I have a friend who added a Verona to his dCS rig, and to my ears, it was one of those "I think I hear something different, but I'm not sure"... -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30530 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
