That isn´t true. It´s a digital stream, but the DAC uses transitions to construct a clock, and therefore variations in the timing of the bits will affect the clock and distort the analogue output. That will happen even if there are zero bit errors - so an ugly bit, while still a bit, is a problem for S/PDIF. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33146
