This is what I want to believe, that the jitter issue is resolved by using a good DAC with low jitter measurements. If this was simply the case however, then why would the minimum length of the digital cable necessarily be a factor; if the DAC would correct any jitter issues, why even worry about whats upstream from the DAC? Discussions regarding the importance of minimizing jitter in the digital cable (i.e.: lengths of 1.5 meters or more), or by re-clocking the signal before the DAC, leads me to believe there is more to the issue of reducing jitter than simply incorporating a low-jitter DAC. I would like to have a better understanding -- timequest ------------------------------------------------------------------------ timequest's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25640 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63796
