Well, if a component (say the display system) GENERATES noise internally, it's not going to help adding a nicer external power supply. Isn't that quite obvious? I can't answer for Tom. (Perhaps he meant the percieved noise floor during playback of music?) I don't, generally, put my ear to the speakers to see if the noise floor has changed. Re. jitter: There must be some misunderstanding about how a D/A works, and/or what jitter is and how it affects the D/A process. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32231 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
