Good point and thanks for setting me straight. This is actually the assumption I started with as well, but got caught up in playing devil's advocate. I was never trying to say HDD audio is superior, only equal and more convenient (you've helped me understand this before WRT the steve nugent docs IIRC). Getting the info from disc->disk is not the hard part, it's the questionable part. A good test might (?) be feeding I2S into the Sb from a Pro2M or other decent transport, preferably in the same box, then doing jitter measurements at the DAC to compare with streamed audio. John Swenson was working on something similar, so perhaps he can comment. -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32993 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
