Lavry himself asked not to be naive thinking his design is immune to jitter. Some do somewhat better then others in this regard, that's it. Also, if you noticed, there are very few DACs that have anything special for jitter handling in their design. Most try to market their on-chip PLL as "The Original Jitter Buster".
And if you mean that those "well designed" DACs are immune to jitter in sense of "you won't hear it anyways" then I'm wrong addressee - I don't care if I can hear it or not.

Why I believe in separating digital from analog in SB4? All this talk that DAC chips cost pennies just doesn't make much sense here. This is not about chips. Well designed high quality analog stage WILL add substantially on the total price (I'm not talking about production costs), and in current situation when digital realm goes forward rather fast, while analog is pretty much settled, I prefer modular solution where I could exchange (upgrade) modules independently, and I apparently don't want to pay for integrated solution. -- 325xi simaudio nova cdp >> simaudio moon i-5 >> revel performa m20 on skylan stands via acoustic zen matrix reference ii and acoustic zen satori sb3 >> audioengine 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 325xi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5661 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35881 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
