I don't really agree. If the jitter induced artifacts can be shown to be below the quantization noise floor - and in the case of the Benchmark they're way below it, at least for 16 bit audio - that's 100% jitter immunity by the only reasonable definition you could take. Otherwise you may as well put a warning sticker on the thing saying it's affected by the tides. They probably say "nearly" to avoid potential false advertising claims - after all a DC voltage could be thought of as the infinite jitter limit of any digital signal, but the Benchmark won't play music if you feed it DC.... -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38637 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
