Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Oscilloscope question for Sean or anyone
So far I've managed to snag from eBay a decent Thurbly PM310 Bench PSU, a mint Fluke 175 DMM, and a VGC Farnell Signal generator (total cost $150) ... still not quite got that scope yet though :o( A Philips/Fluke 3217 or PM3050 should be with me soon!. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40680 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

For $13k I'll build you my completely jitter-proof AK4396-based DAC, then you won't have to worry about it :) -- AndyC_772 AndyC_772's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40680 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles

Erm - thanks Sean! I'm bidding on a Tektronix 2225 at the moment - it's an older model but probably OK for what I need. I'd love to spring $13k for a jitter analyser...but I think my wife might object (especially as she wants to go to NY in the spring for our anniversary!)

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Oscilloscope question for Sean or anyone
If I wanted a scope for looking at SPFIF waveforms, what bandwidth would be good enough? I'm interested in doing some experiments on the SB SPDIF and would like to make some proper measurements!

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Oscilloscope question for Sean or anyone
Pat - thanks! So 50Mhz would be OK (I'm not looking at jitter) - that's cool...roll on eBay!

I'm interested in doing some experiments on the SB SPDIF and would like to make some proper measurements! One ususally buys an 'scope that can handle a comfortable amount over the nyquist rate. http://www.pfarrell.com/prc/bits.html RedBook audio is 1,411,200 bits/second So if you are looking at RedBook, 5 or 10 mHz is a nice bottom. This is nothing for a modern 'scope, so getting one that does 50mHz is 'safer' If you want to see jitter, or other things much smaller, then mHz is not enough, and you'll need gigaHz. this starts to get expensive and weird. At GHz, the wire in the signal sampling leads changes the signal. ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
