Biphase Mark Coding is encoding for *digital* data. Frequency of the clock is twice the frequency of the original signal, but the data is digital. The result is that at the physical level it's npt about 0 and 1, but about even simpler polarity changes, which makes data *and* clock easier to recover. Truly don't know what we're arguing about here? Are you claiming digital data transported via SPDIF is prone to bit errors? Are we back to the jitter issue, which you labeled immaterial yourself? Or are you saying that signal integrity is just as critical for purity in the pure analog as it is in the digital domain, as the person I was countering seemed to maintain? -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33146 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
