I guess, the buffer, is really small to makeup for time needed to (re)read the data properly. There could also be a problem in the algorithm for buffering. I understand, that inspite of having a buffer, the Dodson DAC is not immune to source jitter. But the Lavry DAC is supposedly immune. The Big Ben Digital Lens jitter reduction device has 500KB buffer. Even though it reduces the jitter, still, difference sources (with varying jitter), are still distinguishable, according to a Stereophile review. So for all practical purposes, the 'small buffer' in the CD players might as well be non-existent. (The new Rega CD player is supposed to analyse the CD once, and 'adjust' playback. So customers are advised to be patient, Maybe it is just reading data into a big buffer). -- SoftwireEngineer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SoftwireEngineer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7000 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28621 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
