I'm really glad to hear they've fixe dhte performance problems. I bought one a couple months ago and returned it after being just blown away by its slowness. Will go out and give it another try I suppose. -- seanadams ___ audiophiles mailing list au

I bought a TeraStation. Until I upgraded to the latest 1.08 firmware (came out June 23, 2005), I was dissapointed with the speed. However, as you shall see below, I am now quite satisfied with the speed after the firmware upgrade. Using a RAID 5 configuration, I now get 22 MB / second (168 mbps)

If jitter is coming from the PSU. Howabout this mod Change the stock switching PSU to a linear regulated PSU 5V, 2A Then, change the original oscillator to Elso clock or Tent clock which are supposed to have very low jitter. Would this work? The only think I am concern is that there are still s

True... if you're DAC relies on the incoming digital signal for that. I guess it depends on the DAC you're using and the type of tweaks you're going to do. If you use a DAC with its own clock then you don't need to be synchronised with the source and you can then pass the incoming signal throug

It's true that the power supply could probably have an affect on jitter. How much, I think is arguable. At least it would be nice if someone could measure it. Still, I doubt the difference (if any) would be audible. Personally, I'd much rather focus on the DAC end. Meaning, improve the power s

Your opinion would not be entirely correct, since the PSU can also affect the clock (oscillator). Whether you consider this analogue or digital, is entirely up to you! -- Patrick Dixon www.at-view.co.uk ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists

Not true because the Power Supply can induce noise inside (BTW even outside) the unit that will impact the digital outputs as well (impact on the jitter for example). Bit-exact is not the only thing to consider for an audiophile system. Michel -- Michel Fombellida _
