In your setup, you're adding an extra device in the digital chain, i.e. an additional SPDIF link and thus are likely to suffer more from the effects of jitter. With the DEQ2496 in the Transporter's digital loop, using AES transmission, and using the Transporter's clock I find the DEQ2496 to be essentially transparent (apart from the eq. I'm applying, of course). R. _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
