Easy guys :) I think of the kind of jitter-problems discussed here as an important sub-matter of a completely indifferent one ;) Never mind the motivation. I think, as chill points out, that randomly swapping cables is hardly controlled, and therefore wouldn't alone stand a chance at providing enough information for specific conclusions to be drawn? However it made me think of an old post by Sean. He tested and measured jitter using a number of different cables. The results where similar. However, he then continued to beat them up pretty badly - using hammers and such :) - and repeated the experiment. This did have an effect on jitter. Rough as it may sound, it does sound like a method that could be used - providing one has tools for measuring jitter... (Disclaimer: I couldn't find the original post - it had graphs and such - and I'm not even sure I remember it correctly). -- bhaagensen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bhaagensen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78790 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
