Well yes but... In my setup, I have 2 coax cables and a TACT rcs between my sb3 and DAC - plenty of opportunity for jitter to be added to the low levels coming out of the SB3. Also, the whole point is that not much jitter is added between the spdif socket and the DAC chip...the fact that there is a PLL en route is neither here nor there. -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33146 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
