Whether you like the Hifi News review or not is irrelevant to the point, which is, that the measured jitter figures showed a large discrepency compared to the ones measured by Stereophile. This woul obviously result in the lower audio quality picked up by the Hif News reviewer relative to other high end players. I tried to find the official jitter figures from the Transporter's datasheet, but all I could find is the following:
"Clock signals in Transporter are handled not as ones and zeroes, but as precision analog signals. Specialized crystal oscillators, careful clock management, and linear-regulated logic supplies ensure the lowest possible jitter throughout the system." Whether that translates to a good jitter figure or not isn't clear. Perhaps Slim Devices could tell us what the jitter figures SHOULD be, and also what the manufacturing variance on that figure should be. A 4 to 1 ratio just doesn't sound right to me. If that is the case then there are some serious issues with the jitter reuction in the Transporteer's design. So, would Slim Devices like to enlighten us please??? -- Jaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10726 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33276 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
