The RMAA test is actaully less important than the work I did to actually diff the results. The Recorded files and the files I hand trimmed are included. I used a non 75ohm cable (because I was too lazy to dig one up) and for one test I used a CO2 converter to convert TosLink to Coax. Note there are 2 types of jitter. Peak to Peak and Clock Drift. The Meridian FIFO (or similar buffering in good DACs) will get rid of 100% of peak to peak jitter. A cable could change peak to peak jitter but it can't effect the clock drift jitter. So with a Meridian system (or a DAC with similar buffering) a digital cable should make ZERO difference. As well as TosLink vs Coax will make no difference. It also tells me SpeakerLink (a new Meridian connection) should make no difference since the DSP Speakers have FIFO dejitter as well and should eliminate cable differences. I was a little concerned the "DTS Test" was not 100% reliable, in that DTS does handle some errors. I had in the past recorded my own test wave forms and compared them bit for bit using a wave form editor. But this test is much more extensive and verifies it's not that hard to transmit every bit over SPDIF. All that is left with a "Good DAC" is effects of clock drift. -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter/DuetController > SPDIF > Meridian G68 > DSP6000, DSP5500HC, DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > DuetReceiver > SPDIF > Meridian G91 > DSP5000 'My Transporter Setup' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=350741&postcount=45) 'Hitch Hikers Guide to Meridian' (http://www.meridianunplugged.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79245 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
