No no. The problem is what are you tuning and why, even assuming you can tune it. If the dac correctly decodes sample values from S/PDIF which it can provided jitter is less than several nanoseconds, then the crypto engineering question is how the S/pDIf transmitting device can affect the D/a conversion in the DAC. Assuming that the Dac uses its own clock to time the d/a conversion And even then assuming you can identify that process it will not necessarily affect all Dacs the same way or at all. Some people claim that short buffers may make more frequent but less intense power surges- however the theory is far from unimpeachable, and even the subjective reports (Imagining they were to be taken seriously) are inconsistent. Assuming that transports do affect the Dac, there is AFAIK no generally accepted way of measuring what would be a better transport. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamdea's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37603 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95031 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
