Stereophile says the jitter increases slightly when feeding 16 bit signals into the Transporter through an optical SPDIF, rather than streaming*. Perhaps if the device sounds better/worse when streaming vs. acting as a DAC, the 45ps p-p added jitter is a potential reason (?). I can recall at least one review (not Stereophile) where they said it sounds BETTER when used as a DAC, which kind of proves your point. * http://www.stereophile.com/mediaservers/207slim/index4.html -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35881 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
