Bit-perfect output is always guaranteed, provided you have the TP digital output level control set to "max". If you want "zero" jitter, you will need a DAC with clock out that can then drive the TP via its clock-in socket. You will need a reasonable BNC cable to connect the two together in addition to the spdif cable (there is NO advantage in using AES/SBU by the way unless your TP is many many metres away from your DAC... even then it won't alter the sound) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
