Jitter only exists when you reconstruct the the bitstream in real time. Files only contain the bits and the defined sampling rate, they don't contain anything which would equate to jitter, i.e. there is no timing information. When you reconstruct the bitstream, a local oscillator is used running at the defined sampling frequency to define when each sample is replayed. Jitter comes from variations in the phase of this oscillator before it gets to the Digital to Analog (DAC) chip. So you can't have a jittery file... You can have a jitterly oscillator but thats another story and is local to the replay device. -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31833 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
