Actually, audio reproduction is not an exact science. There is no ultimate sound system on this planet that sounds perfect to all ears. Perhaps I overstated the case, but the fact remains that it is hard to believe that more jitter will sound better. Especially since we know that one of the reasons digital sounded so awful in its ugly childhood was that the engineers had overlooked the effects of jitter. I have played a bit more with 0.0 vs. 63.0 and the effect is even more dramatic than I thought. Especially CDs that were crowded and noisy (in the instrumental sense), such as Primal Screams "Vanishing Point", open up a whole soundscape when the analogue output is muted. Anyones milage may vary depending on DAC used, which i the unfortunate result of the way SPDIF works. -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26332 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
