No but as I said in my initial response jitter is not solely an issue when using SPDIF - it comes into play any time you reconstruct the analogue signal from the digital data, i.e. the SB3 output will be affected by jitter *internal* to the SB3. > like i said the 1995 DAP Little Bit Dac i am guessing had a jitter > issue connected to squeezebox. its an old dac with no jitter protection > i believe. > > andyc was one the one making the remark that pll does not perfectly > solve jitter issues only buffering. i am just interested in the subject > and also in a good dac for my sb3... sounds like i should try and find a > 0.5s buffering new dac for $500 or less. so far have not seen one. > buffering dacs all looks real expensive. soon i will try two old pll > dacs and see how they fair. And as I said in my subsequent response, I'd not get hung up on technical specs and just listen to a few different options.
