Good that you bring that up. There is a 'Wiki' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jitter) that pretty much explains that the term jitter is not exclusive to audiophiles. All these different types of jitter are non linear variations and might cause this are that nasty sideeffect. Even though it's evident that there is an issue, nobody really has nailed it down yet. One reason IMO is that the industry got a huge problem to fight this problem. As soon as they find with a solution, they'll have a great marketing message. That's what we've seen on asynch USB - They still selling it at as holy grail to fight PC originated distortions, which is nonsense. They just cover a part of the story. -- soundcheck ::: ' Touch Toolbox 3.0 and more' (http://soundcheck-audio.blogspot.com) ::: by soundcheck ------------------------------------------------------------------------ soundcheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
