Why should there be no difference in theory? And why should they sound the same? Jitter is a real and measurable phenomenon, and its effects are well documented. It would be utterly unsurprising if the digital outputs of the various models had different jitter characteristics. In any event, I've compared the Receiver to the Transporter, both feeding an external DAC. (I can't remember if it was the Pass Labs D1 or the Adcom GDA-600, at the time.) The difference was pretty obvious. And frankly, I was pretty bummed out. I was hoping to get away cheap in my second system. But I had to shell out for a second Transporter, instead. -- rgheck Transporter --> Pass Labs D1 --> Pass Labs Aleph 2s --> Thiel CS 1.6s Transporter --> Adcom GDA-600 --> Pass Labs B1 (DIY) --> Adcom GFA-5800 --> Thiel CS 1.6s Receiver --> T-Amp --> Monitor Audio Radius 90s Receiver --> Sony HT Receiver (Garbage) --> Monitor Audio Raduis HT Setup SqueezeboxServer on a 350MHz Pentium II with 768MB RAM, 1.5TB storage, running Centos 5.x ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rgheck's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=25803 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71321 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
