Well certainly I'm not going to laugh at anyone's comments. betto;229970 Wrote: > Hi David, you may take a look at this > www.lessloss.com/about.html > Cheers, Betto I hate to repeat myself, but I'm going to. The technology has got better. In theory it is possible to remove jitter from an incoming S/PDIF stream without a shared clock. More importantly, to the best of my knowledge, some widely available DACs have finally turned theory into reality and are resistant to input jitter (assuming a working connection within S/PDIF spec). One example is the Benchmark DAC. Couple such welcome developments with modern transports such as the SB3 or Transporter - which have no moving parts and no read-errors - and you may find the differences in connections have become moot, since the surrounding hardware is doing its digital job much better.
