Your hypothesis is that Path A suffers from incorrect and varying data, where Path B does not, and that this causes the perceived difference. You do not consider jitter to be the issue. Phils hypothesis is that Path A suffers from more jitter than Path B, and that this causes the perceived difference. Phil does not consider differences in the digital data to be the issue. These two hypotheses are different, and testable, yours quite easily as opaqueice suggests. So why speculate further? You can do that forever and get nowhere. Just do the obvious experiment and compare the data streams from the two front-ends. -- JezA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JezA's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21219 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57173 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
