If interface jitter rejection is good at the DAC, this would be correct. Unfortunately digital audio is badly engineered from the very start since jitter effects weren't understood at the time of designing the SPDIF interface. Today we live with at variety of equipment with varying susceptibility to SPDIF jitter. -- P Floding No, I didn't ABX it. And I won't even if you ask me.
