The main problem with most studies I've seen of this is that they use a pure test tone (17kHz, in one widely quoted study, for example), and see if people can detect the presence of jitter in that signal. And then, when people can't, they conclude that jitter is inaudible. This is very strange methodology. Similar tests long ago showed that nothing matters except THD. -- 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
