Archimago thanks for mentioning the Zanden DAC and transport :) I forgot its name .
It's a good example on why good reviewer actually must measure stuff . This is some kind of cargo cult design , it performs worse than any cheap Chinese DVD player . But somehow measurements only matters sometimes :D if the design is expensive and weird enough the most horrible performance suddenly does not matter as the thing is of the "right stuff" an expensive true audiophile product and thus it can not ever be bad ? So jitter is only bad in non audiophile products just like distortion . Ralphy inventing a boogeyman and then sell a remedy for it is standard operations . In the case of jitter it does actually exist the consequence of it is just grossly exaggerated to sell you stuff. There are 100% fabricated ones to ! Where someone's discovers a "problem" and just like magic they have the solution for it . they always have a solution , they never fail at that :) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
