Yes of course, as molesworth would say, "any fule no that" . Amusingly IIRC you will find that the chief server-side -tweakmeister uses a dac which is famously jitter immune. However, I simply wanted to see whether if one goes along with the hypothesis that packet timing made a difference, there was a design solution. The implication is that the touch is designed in such a way that its cpu load interferes significantly with the audio circuits. I just wondered whether there was any way in which this could be isolated. It's unnecessary to explain to me that this packet timing hypothesis is no more than a work of imagination contrived to validate highly questionable subjective findings. -- adamdea ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamdea's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37603 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91322 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
