Check out this post by Sean (the squeezebox's designer--forget if his official title is CEO or CTO) and judge for yourself: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24392 I'll reiterate that I don't understand any technical way that the types of differences you're describing would manifest themselves. The squeezebox exhibits bit-perfect transport quality. This is evidenced by the fact that it's able to successfully pass dts. If bits were lost or altered in any way then this simply wouldn't work. The nature of digital is that for the music to be changed or tainted in any way there has to be some problem either in the timeliness of the arrival of the bits (jitter, which can be caused by mis-clocking or poor edge creation/detection) or there has to be a difference in the actual content of the bits. Measurements show the jitter to be very low, while the DTS pass-through capability proves the integrity of the data. And on top of all this, I'll repeat what I said before: digital errors like these wouldn't manifest themselves in a consistent way like a "brightness" but would be far more random. So... if you maintain that there's a difference in quality I will have to leave it to you to discern how to fix it. I can't think of an engineering-based solution. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24613 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
