I believe you are correct, however I don't think this is bad information: http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue43/jitter.htm This article does make sense, but for me the question remains; just how audible is "audible?" -- timequest ------------------------------------------------------------------------ timequest's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25640 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63796 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
