It's *data*. Data integrity is the key. It does not matter of the signal gets somewhat distorted. That's actually one of the key advantages of digital interfaces: you don't have to worry as much over signal integrity. It's no misconception at all. An ugly bit is still a bit. -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33146 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
