That's not entirely correct, though. That little gadget may attenuate jitter at the S/PDIF socket, but that's not the same as reducing jitter at the DAC where it matters. It's reducing jitter at the entry to the box that contains the DAC, which is not the same thing. There will still be a PLL or VCXO circuit between the S/PDIF socket and the DAC chip itself. In fact, if the transport is well designed and has low output jitter, then the Altmann gadget is really just removing the jitter resulting from signal degradation in the cable. The stuff on www.lessloss.com is, on the other hand, very accurate and a good read. -- AndyC_772 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndyC_772's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10472 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
