Sure, the data will be the same, but the timing may not be. The Digital-to-Analog process is, in the end, an analog process that converts one set of voltages to another, and if the input signal to this process has differences in the timing of how that signal arrives, it will produce different results at the output. These differences are measureable and audible. Slim Devices obviously thinks it makes a difference, or they wouldn't have spent so much time and effort to make the Transporter's jitter specification as good as it is. -- 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=31833 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
