I don't know if this has been suggested before (and if it has then I humbly apologise)...but:
With all this hypothesising about clock degradation, jitter etc making digital transports "sound" different - why can't we really prove this? What would it take to progressively introduce noise or other spuriae onto a SPDIF connection and see (or rather listen to) what happens? What happens if we slap an RC network across a SPDIF, thus messing up the clock waveform recovery ? What happens if we hit a toslink with a big hammer? Is it possible to devise controlled tests for these scenarios? -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37044 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
