Actually you'd be amazed just how hard it is to hear when a sample is dropped or duplicated - not that the final design ever actually does that, of course.
I hope you'll forgive me for not disclosing all the inner workings of the design right now - it does seem to be a peculiar characteristic of hi-fi companies that they seem unusually willing to discuss their trade secrets in public. I guess there's a trade-off between maintaining a competitive advantage, and gaining credibility with an inquisitive customer base. As of this moment in time, though, my DAC is not available for sale - so I have no particular need to earn that credibility just yet by explaining the precise ins and outs. Hope you understand. I will say that the crystal I use is actually a VCXO, with a specified rms output jitter of 2.72 picoseconds, and that it's connected directly to the master clock input pin of the AK4396. -- AndyC_772 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndyC_772's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33146 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
