I'd like to add my thanks to Sean Adams for taking the time to perform these tests. As a recent SB3 purchaser I have been searching and reading up on the whole linear power supply debate with interest. However as a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronic Engineering (and general sceptic) I wasn't convinced there were gains to be had when using the SPDIF out with an external DAC. I have to agree with your conclusions.
It's also very decent of you to post these numbers as they do show that the SPDIF output does not meet the specced 50pS jitter (assuming that is also RMS). And Stereophile measured the jitter at 321pS peak-peak http://www.stereophile.com/digitalprocessors/906slim/index3.html and you're figures are slightly worse. [Mods] This thread should be made a sticky. -- milesr3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ milesr3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24392 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
