And to summarize the ASRC issue: "The point is, there is simply no need to corrupt the Audio data with an ASRC just to attenuate Jitter, when all that is need is to regenerate a clean clock. This design has the basic ingredients to do this but still uses the ASRC. This is what I'm struggling with, especially when the designer comments on the degradation introduced by ASRC then proclaims the design to have a "bit transparent" mode." -JohnW, DIYHiFi.org, http://www.diyhifi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=23881#23881 In light of this, the change in the manual speaks volumes: ______Rev. 3.1______ The LavryBlack DA10 features: - Ultra low jitter modes (without sample rate conversion). ______Rev. 3.2______ The LavryBlack DA10 features: - Ultra low jitter modes. Perhaps the earlier models did have/utilize such modes, but if ASRC is used in all modes now, aren't we paying for components that aren't necessary? I wouldn't want a glowing tube in my preamp if the signal didn't even go through it! My favorite part of the thread is when Jim Hagerman, when talking about the ideal method of jitter rejection, names our beloved slimserver :-) "Personally, I think the ultimate would be closer to a slimserver approach. That is, suck the entire song or album into memory. Then play it back at your leisure with a dedicated clock. No pll, no tracking. You get fast forward, rewind, etc.." Anyway, thanks for the link. -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34749 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
