Be careful with this conclusion. Jitter is not a number, it's a complex spectrum over a wide frequency range that's constantly modulated in a patterns that have an influence on what we hear. The modulations that correlate to the music signal (in the audioband) seem to sound more unpleasant. It's likely that with FLAC decoding the noise patterns correlate slightly more to the music. Different noise patterns in the jitter spectrum give a different sound. F.i. with a normal CD-player there's a slight difference in the jitter spectrum between repeat on and repeat off. Even professional studio equipment like the Apogee Big Ben Master Clock suffers from these problems. It's jitter pattern changes when you change settings that shouldn't be related. This was discovered because someone heard a difference after a setting was changed on another output! -- void _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
