How do you know that? And what does "+/-" mean? Are you even using the clock in your DAC as the master? > > I never said the SQ differences I'm hearing are jitter related, that > was 325xi's call. > > Like many others who have posted on this forum, I'd like to see a > digital out only product with AES/EBU or I2S outputs for use with an > external DAC. > Why would i2s sound good? You are still sending the clock across a transmission line, significantly degrading it from what you would have with the clock on-board close to the DAC. If i2s were a good way of doing an interconnect, lots of devices would use it. There is no reason to speculate about this stuff. With the right equipment it is very easy to see exactly what is going on. I can observe phenomena as minute as the jitter introduced by simply lifting a clock trace up off the PCB for a distance of one centimeter... we are talking far smaller factors than the noise you get linking exteral boxes together with cables, or from biphase clock recovery. > I don't need the TP's DAC functions. Of course that's up to you, but I'm curious why you would think that. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 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
