My believe is that all these different approaches of slaving the DAC to the clock of the digital source, or by using PLL's or re-clocking/re-sampling are fundamentally flawed. It is the DAC that should be the clock master and not the source. That immediately solves most of the jitter issues if the DAC has a low-jitter master clock.
Fortunately some companies have realised this and started taking this approach. For example, see the Pace-Car by Emperical audio (http://www.empiricalaudio.com/frPace-Car.html). Another company taking this approach is LessLoss (see http://www.lessloss.com/). By the way, the latter web site is a useful resource of information regarding jitter with some nice animated pictures of what it looks like. -- Jaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10726 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
