Timothy - toally agree and what you call DAE jitter was certainly a problem in the early days of digital audio extraction (early 90's) using CD rom drives.
However, AccurateRip results from a vast user/disc population are showing high consistency in extract processes, so I'd go out on a limb and say that this problem is now materially solved when using something like EAC or similar which will "try try and try again" to get the bits off... I suppose you could argue that AccurateRip doesn't prove we are getting the right bits, only the same bits...but this seems a very unlikely outcome to me. -- 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+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT RCS 2.2X with Good Vibrations S/W - MF X-DAC V3/X-PSU/X-10 buffer (Audiocomm full mods)- Linn 5103 - Linn Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42435 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
