I just couldn't leave well enough alone, so out of curiosity, I started reading more about jitter. What I learned is that one way to reduce jitter produced by CD transports is to bypass the SPDIF output altogether, which sends PCM data serially, and instead, use an I2S connection. Of course, one would need a DAC that can accept I2S, but those are available apparently. Anyway, my question really is whether the SB3 converts I2S->SPDIF, and if so, can one then mod the SB3 to bypass the SPDIF and use the I2S?
For those who are interested, here's the article that got me started thinking about this: http://www.soundstage.com/wrkman03.htm -- ezkcdude SB3->Derek Shek TDA1543/CS8412 NOS DAC->MIT Terminator 2 interconnects->Endler Audio 24-step Attenuators (RCA-direct)->Parasound Halo A23 125W/ch amplifier->Speltz anti-cables->DIY 2-ways + Dayton Titanic 10" subwoofer He's not hi-fi, he's my stereo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ezkcdude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2545 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22301 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
