Actually my numbers were off quite a bit. I was forgetting it was serial and 2 channels. So my guess on sample clock rate compared to jitter numbers was 2 orders of magnitude off. But still pretty far from 10s of pico seconds. -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter/DuetController > SPDIF > Meridia

It's not easy to simulate with data because the jitter talked about is typically much less than one sample width. One CD sample is 1/44100 seconds where people debate differences in 100's of pico seconds 1/10. It's totally ridiculous. You could simulate massive jitter in the data. -- ms

2010-05-14 Thread bhaagensen
This is inspired by a recent (not mine) thread on the Naim forum. Thought I'd try here also - but with a small twist. Does anyone know of any readily available DSP-software that simulate jitter. I, like most, can not with certainty claim to actually ever have "heard jitter". So I was thinking th
