OK we can get clever DACs that can recover any Jitter from an SB - are we then saying that an SB is very Jitter prone so we need a clever DAC to compensate for this inadequacy? Obviously by removing the need for a CD transport much of the internal noise and jitter is eradicated from that perspective alone. However, I wonder, where else does jitter "form" in an SB? Is it down to using a cheap crystal oscillator perhaps? Forget upgrading the power supply - has anyone attempted to upgrade to a more accurate and high quality clock/crystal oscillator? I harp on too much about the advantage of not having to worry about a dodgy CD Transport - but perhaps the internal 'clock' in a SB is where the mass market cost cutting exercise is apparent? If you want more flexible use of DACs from yester-year without worrying about modern DACs compensating for jitter prone sources - what modifications, if any, should be considered on the SB?
