Jitter is lowest for streaming (17ps), and higher for s/pdif (50+ ps depending on the source).
S/PDIF is a unidrectional connection which transmits clock and data together, which is why the clock is subject to degradation. In contrast, the network is _only_ a data connection. The clock is generated internally. It is possible to get better performance with s/pdif only if the source supports a word clock input. In that case you can get the same performance as when streaming. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42183 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
