Your description seems to fit in with my experience in reducing jitter. Either when using a better digital cable (a glass toslink) or when I added a modded Elpac to my SB3. Again, I feel the jitter spectrum of the SB3 (and based on your 'too dry' description, the transporter as well) seems very 'euphonic' ie. when there is jitter the SB3 sounds smooth (and actually soft). I feel the 'air' or space/ambience is actually the best indicator of high fidelity. The 'dryness' will be perceived as 'realistic' at higher volumes. It will also be more dynamic and the bass should be tighter (is it ?) as well. -- SoftwireEngineer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SoftwireEngineer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7000 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27927 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
