it comes from the digital interface but it shows up on the analog side , they are measuring sidebands to a test tone sometimes ? Looks almost as the old graphs of analog tape decks wov and flutter Yes the timing deviation if large enough should show as some kind of modulation of the signal . Sometimes they are measuring the time deviation directly in a digital interface . Sure it modulates the DAC otherwise it would not be a concern . They interesting question is if in this day an age is a big enough problem to lose any sleep over . If designed DAC's i would give it a lot of attention as i would have the product perform well with any source. Imho it's is in practice solved for end users , use a good dac :) enjoy the music -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
