First I would like to mention that I use SB only as Ethernet to SPDIF interface, and it seems to do very well as such.
The only concern for this kind of device I can think about is jitter. The data on jitter on coax output is fairly controversial: some say it's around 100ps (I don't remember whether it's RMS or pk-pk), but measurements on this forum give another number - about 470ps pk-pk, which is not low at all. I also recall some post elsewhere where John Atkinson wrote he wasn't impressed with jitter measurements either. My question is whether Slim Devices recognize that current jitter measurements as something that requires improvement? Are there any plans to work on getting closer (in terms of jitter) to good CD players, which now register 180-220ps pk-pk on coax outputs? I'd like to emphasize that I'm not talking about so called "audiophile" version of SB with nice thick front panel and nice-to-have but pretty much useless in this application AES/EBU digital out, etc. - but rather about getting it's major functionality to the appropriate level. -- 325xi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 325xi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5661 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25188 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
