So far the conversation has been: 1. "I want an AES/EBU connection with word clock input on a squeezebox."
2. "Are you sure there's a difference? Did you test it blind?" 3. "Yes." 4. "Blind with the latest jitter-immune DACs?" 5. "Hang on are they jitter immune or not?" 6. "Yes, we have measurements." 7. <Random argument follows about OVERALL SQ of products from Slim Devices, TNT and other> 8. <Someone posts some graphs which shows that the SB3 digi output isn't perfect> 9. <Discussion of the benefits of a S/PDIF-less design> Everything from 7 onwards is white smoke IMHO. *I note question 4 hasn't been answered.* We are talking about the audibility of connections. Given our example of a manufacturer *providing measurements* showing jitter immunity I would be convinced by a DBT involving that product. Otherwise, forgive me for paying any heed to /appropriate/ measurements, which I find personally more trustworthy than sighted listening. I am repeating myself again, so I might as well do it thoroughly. It doesn't mean I think the Benchmark DAC1 sounds better than a Transporter or SB+. _That's a different discussion because it's about more than audibility of connections!_ Darren -- darrenyeats SB3 / Inguz -> Sony DAS-703ES DAC -> Krell KAV-300i -> PMC AB-1 Dell laptop -> JVC UX-C30 mini system ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darrenyeats's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10799 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38637 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
