(in very simple terms) SPDIF is an analogue signal that represents the data (the bitstream) in an encoded format including an embedded clock signal. like all signals it can be clean or dirty (contain noise and distortion). The dirtiier that signal is, the harder the spdif receiver circuit/chip in the DAC has to work to accurately recover the clock (the music data is not a problem). -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
