I have read quite a lot, and I think I have a decent understanding of jitter. Nothing I have read has indicated that the jitter spectrum should be harmonically related to the original analogue signal. On the contrary, many people mention specifically that it is not, and cite that as the reason jitter sounds so bad. Here's an excellent example: > > These sidebands around the signal being decoded aren't harmonically > related to the signal, making them particularly unpleasant. from http://www.stereophile.com/reference/1093jitter/ . I recommend you take a look at figure 4 of that reference, and then explain to me how the spectrum of that noise has anything whatsoever to do with the harmonic content of the music. > > > The file won't get corrupted in transfer - or at least, if it does, > you'll know about it.

However, if you refuse to discuss this analogy there are many others - for example the distortion you hear over a digital cell phone, or the image distortion you sometimes see on TV from a bad digital satellite feed, or take your pick. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24670 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
