Ok, I think I understand now. I brought up jitter, because isn't jitter the only variable between different transports, if the signal is being sent to an external DAC? If you are not concerned with jitter generated by the transport, then why do you want a Squeezebox with word clock, etc? What other transport issues are there that one should care about other than jitter (assuming bits are transmitted without errors in the first place, of course)? It seems to me that only timing is the issue, and the way to quantify differences in timing is really the definition of jitter. So, I'm sorry if I lead you down a path you didn't want to go, but then I'm equally puzzled. What exactly are we trying to correct with word clock?
