There is some evidence that sample jitter might induce side bands too, they might become audible But it remains a complex phenomenon. The little bit (to obvious pun intended) I understand about it can be found here: http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/KB/BitPerfectJitter.htm Placebo: yep, spend a fortune on it, a proper ABX (like opaqueice pointed out) testing will protect you (and your wallet) against it. -- Vincent ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vincent's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11631 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57449 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
