eiret, jitter is determined by the characteristics of the digital source and of the connection between the source and receiver. Its effect on the sound (assuming the receiver is a DAC) is a function of the jitter spectrum and the jitter rejection of the DAC. A rough analogy is static on the radio. How much static you hear is a function of three things - the strength of the transmitter, the location of your antenna, and the quality of your tuner. So what they mean here is that no matter how much jitter they introduce in the signal the sound is unchanged, and therefore the DAC is immune to jitter. It's like having a perfect tuner that never plays static no matter how bad the signal gets. That would be hard to do with analogue radio signals, but with digital data it's possible (up to the point where the data itself gets corrupted). -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37557 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
