A hard drive's digital performance is a non-issue in this discussion. Due to the error detection, correction, and redundancy throughout any properly designed computer, data is able to travel speedily and accurately to any component. The hard-drive isn't the device that's generating the spdif stream. The quality of the output device (be it the sound card or squeezebox or whatever) is what has to be called into question. The output device is going to get perfectly accurate information in plenty of time, but if it's cheap it might not be able to lay down a very "pretty" spdif signal (poor edges, bad timing). -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24957 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
