Because we are a capitalistic economy, and they sell to folks with money to burn. Most of the transports use the same $10 reader that is sold in the hundreds of millions for PCs. The economies of scale essentially require that. Engineering the speed and track following logic is non-trivial, and you can buy it for pennies. > I did it (CD Players, DVD Player, SB Receiver and SB+) and for sure I > could ear differences, if you don't, forget about the one I reported > between FLAC and WAV. There is more to this. Assorted things we think of as "transports" are doing more than just reading the bits and stuffing them out the S/PDIF port. Oversampling, upsampling, filters, who knows. > Could all of the above be refletced in Jitter? I think jitter is an excuse for the vendors to claim that their products are better. i.e. pure marketing hype. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
