1) The pitch won't vary but the sound will be harder for our brains to process. It's a bit like the "cogging" effect on direct drive turntables - hard to pin down but ultimately rather disturbing. 2) If the USB audio streaming is NOT async/packet then I for one would not touch it with a ten-foot pole. USB was not designed for audio "fidelity" - whatever the hell that is. -- 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
