I still think you are missing the point that in rigorous tests of measured jitter and ultimate effect on audio (sound), there is NO evidence that the amount of measured jitter in modern equipment could possibly affect the sound to a human being listener. This is true of my Transporter, this is true of my Benchmark I DAC with TOUCH attached, but it is also true of the TOUCH's DAC and my iPod's DAC for that matter. Other things can certainly make a difference (powersupply creating electrical interference, internals of a TOUCH creating interference, all affecting things in the analog chain, etc.). But jitter is a problem that has effectively been solved. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96407 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
