I use the COAX and Toslink digital inputs on my TP for DVD and PVR playback. They work fine.
I seem to recall that Sean Adams once posted on these forums to say that the TP's digital inputs are just straightforward "ordinary" ones without any sophisticated jitter-reduction techniques. That doesn't matter to me because: (i) I don't care so much about audio quality when watching video material; and (ii) I'm not convinced that jitter it the bogeyman it's made out to be in any case. If you're thinking about a Benchmark DAC v. TP, I'd have thought that the difference in basic character of their analogue outputs would be more significant than the possible effects of source jitter. kbang;569869 Wrote: > But apart from the sound quality I would also miss the remote control > for selecting digital input. The TP's remote selection of its digital inputs is reasonably easy but not exactly a breeze. I'd have thought that walking up to a Benchmark DAC and flipping a physical switch would take no longer. What you would really miss with a Benchmark is the TP's remote volume control (unless you buy the new DAC1-HDR, which does has remote volume control - but at a price). -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81283 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
