Pray tell, what is the inherent jitter of an off-the-shelf hard drive, hmm?

(the data does not "reside in the pits", rather the change in reflectance between the pits and the lands forms the code) but it pales in comparison to the "hard drive jitter" thing. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31595 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
