Phil, There is a paper around (to which I have lost the link) that examines how S/PDIF clock recovery operates when the input circuity has limited bandwidth (as all real world circuits do). One of the results of the analyis is that the jitter of the recovered clock is indeed correlated to the da

The Audiophile group often has some moderately heated discussions about what people hear and why. Some of us point out that what you hear is affected by other non-auditory factors. Here's a very instructive video from an AES workshop. It should be mandatory viewing for anyone who thinks that what
