I just didn't see the thread. There is nothing really top secret about how we achieve low jitter, although measurements indicate that Transporter's implementation is far better than most. Typically an oscillator will measure 25-50 ps cyc-cyc RMS whereas ours is 11 ps. Then everything else in the clock path adds up until it gets to the DAC, where we measure at 17ps, while most devices are in the range of 75-200ps.
- separate picogate oscillators - high quality crystals - no PLLs, uses fixed oscillator speeds - minimal logic between oscillators and DAC - low-noise power supplies for logic and oscillators - special layout techniques to control noise and keep ground and clock signal paths together - countless hours of testing and refinement using specialized equipment -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34980 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
