You are 100% correct. TCP/IP just works. Jitter only exists where there are real-time clocks (e.g. inside DAC's). There are NO clocks anywhere near TCP/IP - it is an "asynchronous" protocol. There are many things I disagree with Klaus about, but, as you will see, this is not a popular standpoint. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
