Well, it is not quite that simple. Error handling in the transport plays a role, as does how the jitter is being done away with. If you rip your CDs with something like CD Paranoia you are getting the best error correction available - better than what a CD player is going to give you. There are a couple at least different ways of getting rid of jitter - one is to asyncronously resample and upsample the digital data. This eliminated jitter but maps the jitter into noise. This is what the Benchmark DAC1 does. The Lavry Black in Crystal mode buffers and reclocks with no upsampling - this is a superior method. So a Squeezebox combined with a Lavry Black is a very potent combination indeed. In my listening to the Lavry using headphones it seems to me that the SB/Lavry is exposing the limits of the recording and the headphones, period. The SB/Lavry is performing at a level much higher than the other components I am using. No matter what I have tried to date. -- ehlarson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ehlarson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7582 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27359 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
