Could it be that ASRC has only matured recently? In that tutorial thread which was posted earlier, it was stated that you need to oversample by some enormous factor - 2^20 I think - to get good performance. Then you needed to be clever with a huge array of phases to get it to work right. Designing a chip to do that and implement ASRC well sounded challenging, and I notice the datasheet for the AD1896 is dated 2003 (where as the dCS thing was from 1998 IIRC). Also it does depend on the application - in some cases I would think embedding jitter into the data is a very bad idea (like if you want to do some digital processing later). And certain types of jitter (like something with a strong component below 3 Hz) would not get filtered. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29450 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
