I think that any jitter in the digital signal shouldn't produce the same kind of artefacts as it would when listening to ordinary PCM stereo, but I can't hear it anyway so can't be sure. The pre-amp will be decoding the DTS stream to 6 channels so (excuse what might seem a patronising suggestion!) it's also worth checking what that device is doing to the levels, if anything. > I can't reprogram my processor easily at present, so I'll revisit this > in the future.

Good luck, and please post again if you solve it! -- smst ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smst's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=752 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19260 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
