I doubt! Having a crystal that's slightly too fast or too slow doesn't really introduce distortion - there's no additional harmonics generated, it's just that the entire frequency spectrum is shifted imperceptibly up or down. And yes, I do mean imperceptibly. Jitter - however it may be blown out of all proportion - does add additional harmonics and, in my personal experience, does affect soundstaging. It took me a long time to pick up on it, though, so I'd be surprised if it were picked up in an A/B comparison. -- AndyC_772 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndyC_772's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35866 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
