Sean, Thanks for your reply. My point is that although i2s doesn't resolve the whole jitter issue, it's still does substantially better job then SPDIF. For some reason word clock link gathers too little attention from hi-end consumer audio world, and i2s is really "in fashion" these days. Which, in turn, makes better chances there will be more DACs that can accept such a input in the foreseeable future. Another note is that if my understanding is correct, Squeezebox is "i2s-ready", i.e. implementation of i2s output in Squeezebox doesn't require architectural changes, unlike implementation of optional word clock link. So, considering all the above, its better to have something then nothing. -- 325xi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 325xi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5661 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24400 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
