However, for those using the SB's analog outputs this measure would be of interest - if only to 'situate' the SB amongst the CD players & transport/DAC combinations that JA has measured over the years (even if the full correlation between jitter and perceived sonics is currently not fully understood - but hopefully someday will be, or at least there will be a model for its psychoacoustics) ... Presumably these measurements it will be given when Stereophile publishes the SB review (in the next edition?) ... -- reeve_mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ reeve_mike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=995 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25188 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
