Certain kinds of modifications that involve reducing noise are not physically possible without a board respin. Also, no amount of skill could convert Transporter's digital audio path to 32-bit, unless you redesigned nearly the entire product from scratch. I.e., it is utterly impossible to do it by soldering on some components, regardless of skill level. I could not do it by swapping components, and I have full source code to the entire system and know every proprietary detail of the design. Besides the fact, what benefit would it have? Likewise, claims of being able to reduce jitter to 3ps are complete cockamamie. That is less than the jitter introduced by the clock signal traveling across the PCB from the CPLD to the DAC, never mind propagating through the logic itself. Even a theoretically perfect oscillator having 0 jitter (which does not exist) could not reduce the level at the DAC below about 7 ps. And that is completely ignoring the fact that you could never install such an oscillator properly without, again, a board respin. Sorry but you are crazy to accept these claims at face value. If you understood the technology, you would find them just as ludicrous as the lacquered knob and other audiophile jokes. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41756 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
