I think there are treatments for that. The modern drugs are very effective. I am very skeptical about jitter. Folks have been talking about it for decades, and yet it is very hard to see that they are talking about the same thing. Of course the audiophile magazines glow about how this $2000 jitter fixer does wonders, removes a veil, etc. I also am skeptical about how my Benchmark DAC-1's marketing copy talks about it being completely totally and unanimously immune to jitter. Proper dithering, combined with the natural R-C nature of any analog circuit's filtering of ultra sonic signals, is audible. Don't have any of the $10,000 Meridian digital speakers to test if it makes a difference in a minimally analog playback system. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
