Are these mods supposed to have reduced jitter? The jitter on the SB3 is already pretty low.
By the way there is no three-dimensional soundstage to be recovered on 99.9% of CD's, since they weren't recorded using soundfield techniques so there is no height or depth information on them. merely left/right panning - any 3-d effect is being created entirely in our brains (runs for asbestos bunker, dons flame-proof suit and hunkers down in the dark...) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37014 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
