Not so... the optical digital outputs are directly driven by electrical-to-optical devices which will faithfully transmit a lot of the noise - certainly any jitter - which they are presented with. > > But I can't see why the squeezebox (a very tightly packed package) > should induce less electrical noise than a fully grown pc. That's easy - there is a lot more going on inside a PC than inside an SB, and there is generally no particular design goal of the PC designer to minimise the electrical noise. But, please note that I have only been arguing that there *might* be a difference - whether there is one in a given case is another matter entirely.
