All I was saying is that bass "solidity" (timing?) is affected by jitter (IMHO).
I think we humans are quite sensitive to timing errors in lower frequencies - it's just a theory, nothing more. There is an audible difference in correlated vs. uncorrelated jitter... IME jitter is responsible for most (maybe all?) of the core problems with digital reproduction. I've tried higher sampling rates/bit depths extensively in studio conditions and whilst there are improvements to be had IMHO they are NOT critical. I'm not convinced we really understand the science behind all of this...however, jitter is definitely audible to me. It manifests itself to me as indistinct bass and vague treble and I get a headache after 30 mins or so... ymmv. In my system I can listen for 12 hours+ with NO stress. It is not the best system in the world (by any measure) but it does some things OK. -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24670 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
