Any clock recovery circuit, is likely to introduce 'jitter' to the recovered clock, because that's the nature of synchronising one clock to another. The recovered clock has to 'follow' the S/PDIF signal, and so it will have to periodically adjust itself to keep sysnchronised.
You can hear the negative effects of jitter, but they can be down to a better or worse clock source in the 'transport', as well as the S/PDIF signal path and clock recovery circuit. You'll probably only know that you're hearing the effects of jitter though, once you hear something with less. -- Patrick Dixon www.at-tunes.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Dixon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=90 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56425 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
