You want something that dejitters. Jitter is only cumulative if nothing reclocks the signal. Devices like the Monarchy DIP do exactly that. DACs such as the Benchmark DAC 1, (probably) your dCS, and several others also reclock the incoming signal. This is possible because there are fixed, standard input rates and once the proper one is determined a high precision clock in the receiver and be used to match the input signal to one of the set frequencies. tzucc Wrote: > > I can say FOR CERTAIN that when using the clock from the Verdi > transport, that the sound quality is perceptibly lower than when the > Verdi gets the clock from the Delius.

An Audiophile and his money are soon parted if confusion is allowed to reign. bb -- bsquare ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bsquare's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3523 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20284 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
